I’m going to be a SA 2025. I did an unpaid internship a while back but all the people who knew me don’t work there anymore. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe all banks use a pre-employment application where you manually enter in your past employments and then have a third party go verify whatever you put on there. Can I just not put the unpaid internship onto that pre-employment application?

Bump, similar background, curious for FT background check.
I had a friend who put it on and it was a pain. The company requested the offer letter and was hesitant but it worked.
So would you recommend to just not put it on there?
If it’s on your resume I would, just make sure you have your offer letter. If not, I wouldn’t
Just leave it off the background check. That’s what I did when I did my form and they never checked. Its a lot of pain to show paperwork for the unpaid internships
So it doesn't matter if I don't fill it on the form even if it's on my resume?
