Its kind of an out dated practice as times have changed and there is no real expectation of company loyalty any more. But there are some companies (mostly small still family owned) that have not updated their practices and still value that company loyalty. A candidate with significant time as a consultant has little if any chance of ever getting hired on at one of these companies unless they know someone. | |

When I did not get my visa, they wanted me to stay on the team and continue working till I got my Green card and then I would just come back. | |

But in general, the point of a background check is to see if you're blatantly lying -- saying you have 20 years experience when really you've never done this job before, etc. If they notice a discrepancy in dates they might ask you to explain, but normally they're not going to rescind a job offer over something like that. There are lots of reasons for minor discrepancies, from your case -- contractor versus employee -- to somebody made a mistake to, etc. | |
