I had absconded from one of the organizations in 2015.
Under my EPF service history, it shows that I was employed in that organization.
Questions about Absconding and Employment History
I have two questions:
1) Is it necessary for me to show that experience while interviewing and give a reason for absconding?
a) If yes, I can add it to my resume, and I can explain honestly that in 2015 I was not mature enough and didn't have any knowledge about the industry, hence took an impulsive decision to abscond. If I give this genuine reason, will you as a hiring manager recruit such a candidate?
2) If I do not include it on the resume, and later during BGV, they can see that employment on my EPF service history, will it make any impact?

Hi, It's generally recommended to be honest during interviews. If there's a significant gap in your employment history or an instance of absconding, it's often better to address it proactively. Your explanation about not being mature enough and lacking industry knowledge in 2015 is a genuine reason, and it shows self-awareness and growth. However, it's important to also highlight what you've learned since then and how you've grown as a professional.
As for whether I, as a hypothetical hiring manager, would recruit such a candidate, it really depends on various factors. Demonstrated growth, relevant skills, and a good cultural fit are all important considerations.
If I don't include it in my resume and it shows up during background verification (BGV), will it have an impact? If the absconding incident is visible on your employment history through official channels like EPF service records, it's better to have an honest conversation about it during the interview or when asked during the hiring process. Deliberately omitting such information can lead to trust issues and might reflect poorly on your integrity.
It's generally advised to provide accurate information in your resume and during interviews. If a discrepancy arises during a background check, it's best to explain it honestly and provide context. Many employers understand that people make mistakes, and they're often more interested in how you've grown and learned from those experiences.
Thanks,

Hi, it is suggested to show your experience and disclose any absconding history to a future employer. Even if you hide it or manage with a fake experience certificate during the BGV process, it might get revealed. So, it's better to reveal the facts.
How the future employer will respond to the scenario can't be predicted. It depends on the employer.

Importance of Honesty in Employment Applications
Suppression of information to your company will be treated as equivalent to furnishing false information. At the time of employment, you might have filled in an Employment Application form and submitted it to the Company. The gist of the declaration, to be made by you by putting your name and signature, is generally the same in almost all companies:
"I certify the information contained in this application is true, correct, and complete. I understand that, if employed, false statements reported on this application may be considered sufficient cause for dismissal."
So, it is better to be practical and provide all information truthfully and leave the decision to your employer/prospective employer. The problem or confusion arises when you start thinking from the employer's perspective.
Be a sincere applicant for employment.
