And while it might not help with the most uptight entities, if you're using approximate dates because you can't find the exact ones make a note of the fact somewhere. | |

If you are so far off that it looks like you are trying to falsify your resume it can easily be a problem but most of the time if you list January as your start date instead of January 21st it is probably fine. Listing January instead of February is probably also fine. As I said I listed just the year on my resume for some old jobs and have had numerous background checks since I started my job a year ago and even gotten confidential clearance from the government (they went back 7 years) and it hasn't been a problem. | |

It was a hassle and I almost didn't get it (took a month) but with a lot of phone calls and hard work, I was able to get it done. Yeah, it matters sometimes. | |
