Personal History Statement

[soulhydration]

I am filling our a personal history statement for a PD in Texas. I have a couple of questions for the verifieds.

1. Is it bad to not have all the information they request in the employment history? I can't find some of my old supervisors, some of them I can't even remeber there last name.

2. Some address of places I have work changed or the store has shut down and all the staff have relocated. I have just noted this on the side with the new address or a corporate contact number. Would that be the best approach?

thanks

I put down everything I could remember, and left some names out because of this. I only did this for really old jobs where it was acceptable not to remember what my managers name was 14 years ago. Putting a note on the side about this, or that the business no longer exists was good enough for my BI. He asked me about it, and probably did some checking on his own to verify I told him the truth, but he understood that I am 'only human.'

Yes. Take the initiative and find out who your past supervisors were. When I applied, I called up the places I worked, and if I couldn't remember the name of my old boss, I asked someone working there when I called. Leaving something out of your employment history is an automatic red flag.

2. Some address of places I have work changed or the store has shut down and all the staff have relocated. I have just noted this on the side with the new address or a corporate contact number. Would that be the best approach?

I did the same thing. This should work well, unless you can also provide a reference who worked with you while you were employed there. If so, and they agree to help you out, provide their name and contact info as well.

You're welcome.

Just as the others mentioned, list as much as you can remember and find out from research. Anything left out or blank should be explained so it won't appear you're intentionally leaving something out.
