Employment forms f***-up

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Apr 20, 2016 6:00 pm

Hey,

When filling out the incoming summer associate forms, I forgot to fill out all of my employment history (they wanted everything from a certain time frame, I provided a different, shorter time frame). I just realized this as I'm filling out my incoming associate forms. I'm freaked out that this might be construed very negatively against me. There is nothing in the jobs that stinks -- i.e didn't get fired, or arrested for theft or w/e. Just forgot to mention them because I misread the original application.

Any advice on the next steps? I of course will email HR and let them know of this. But what can I expect? Thanks!

Have you already started mass-mailing other firms?

I messed up a couple of my forms for this summer. So i corrected them and sent them in to HR. It did not even occur to me that I shoudl be concerned about this having an effect on my future at the firm adn getting offered. Just tell resend the forms and say you messed up. Dont be crazy.

I'll follow up in 3 months and let you know if i get no offered for forgetting to send in the onboarding sheets asking me what size shirt i wear.
