employer asking record of employment

Nope, you're probably screwed.

Very easy to avoid this lying....... don't outright lie on your resume.

OP you're probably better off. Pro-tip - next time just use Uber driver for the gap

Honestly, you are probably screwed.

I know someone that works in HR CIBC....yeah, you're screwed. You brought this upon yourself.

^^ Hey guys, no need to pile on.

Tell CIBC that you don't give RoE and move on. Did they called the firm?

I have no idea if they called the firm but when you said move on means leave the job but that will give bad image next time if I apply for any job they won't hire me

When you were hired, you benefited from the lie, now you must face the realities of lying as they fact checked what you said.

The bank has many candidates who don't start off lying. They don't need someone like you.

You are not entitled to a job.

If you start off lying, how can a bank continue to offer you a job?

Would you hire a known liar to deal with customer accounts? It is reckless if they did as most liars continue on the path.

Also, why would you give them an employment letter stating 6 months when you wrote 2 years on the resume?

Were you hoping that they wouldn't notice?

You basically told them you lied right there.

Just say I made a typo on my resume. and that during the 1.5 years gap I was taking personal time to spend time with family and travelling the world.

Have you heard of using punctuation to separate your sentences OP? I read your post 3 times and still confused about what you were trying to say.

Threads like these is the reason RDF never cease to amaze me...

Good luck...

Are companies even allowed to ask to record of empolyment?

Why would you tell such a blatant lie on your resume? Consider this a lesson learned and change it to be more truthful. I very much doubt you will get this job.

They'll find out. It happened to me. Job offer rescinded and banned from applying to anything in CIBC.

Time to move on OP, or make up another lie to cover up that lie lol

Listen-up now. I totally feel for you and I know it's hard to get a job in Toronto especially, but next time either lie better or tell the truth. The way you did it is very novice. Never ever apply to a financial organization, if there is something not very right in your resume. First spend time to fix the resume or get the needed experience, then apply.

Gaps are bitchy, I know. But you have to always put yourself in the shoes of the recruiter and be ready to answer the question why you have them and be prepared to give a reasonable answer. Good thing is Canada is a land of immigrants, so it's totally normal for someone to spend some time traveling. Use it to your advantage as someone already suggested, but don't lie on a resume for a financial organization, well unless your lie is VERY minimal AND solidly backed. In your case, just having an unemployment gap is a pretty innocent thing to cover.

But again - play careful with the financial organizations. Most of them will do background checks, some will do criminal record checks and few will also do checks with FBI for your USA criminal status (I used to work for one such organization) so beware and behave yourself.

Good luck and if they fire you from CIBC, have it as a lesson.
