Fired for Fake Experience: Can Presenting Originals Clear My Next Job's Background Check?

I got fired due to the submission of fake experience at X employer. If I submit all my original certificates from X employer for my next job, will my background check clear? Also, what feedback can I expect from X employer?

Hi Gnansekar, First, I suggest that if you have not already done so, send an apology letter to your ex-employer stating the issues you may have caused them due to your actions to secure that job. Whether they respond or not is inconsequential at this point; what matters is that you have the courage to acknowledge your mistakes and take ownership of them. In your interactions with your next employer or prospective company, be sure to provide all original documents. While this may not guarantee a successful background check, if questioned about your reasons for seeking a new job, be honest. Most employers appreciate candid candidates. It involves a certain level of risk, but as I mentioned earlier, it is essential to take responsibility for your actions. As for feedback from your ex-employer, you may see a positive shift once they receive your apology letter. However, it would be wise not to expect a favorable review from them during background checks; nonetheless, let us remain optimistic. I wish you the best of luck! Regards, Shallohal Bangladesh

Background check procedures vary among different companies. The responses of various companies also differ. If the matter reaches the HR department and the person handling the query recalls a previous fraud complaint, they may disclose this information. In this case, the company will make a decision based on their internal procedures. If the person processing the query does not disclose the fraud complaint but only confirms the individual's employment end date, then you are in the clear.
