<p>How much do employers delve into your background during a background check for entry-level jobs. Specifically into your employment history? Like if you had part-time jobs/internships will they look into the specific number of hours you worked each week? The reason I ask this during an interview I was asked how many hours a week I worked in each job I had. I gave values that now I remember are a couple hours off. Like I said 10 hours/week but it was more like 7-10 hours/week depending on the workload of that week. I should have said it varied during the interview but it slipped my mind. Is this grounds for rescinding my offer?</p>

<p>If they call your past employer (not everyone does), they’ll ask if you worked there, your start / end dates of employment, your title, and “Is this person eligible for rehire?” (which is an ambiguous question trying to get at if you were fired or quit on good terms - they might not even ask this if you already have an offer in hand). They will not pull your employment records or go over your weekly pay stubs. Don’t worry.</p>
<p>Yes, that is a VERY small difference. Don’t sweat it.</p>
<p>this is a complete non issue… no worries!</p>
