Hi, I hope somebody can help me with my problem. Recently, I got an offer from BB for summer analyst position, and I'm gonna have to go through the background check fairly soon. However, there is a major discrepancy on my resume which may seem like it's done on purpose to mislead the employer, but in fact it isn't. The issue is that I graduated from my high school in 2011, and then went to college in 2013. In my resume, however, I stated that I have my high school listed as attended from 2008-2013 because after graduation I sat two additional final exams in 2013 (and in my country end of high school is final exams) so I felt that it's reasonable to write 2013 instead of 2011 (although it sounds dumb looking back at it). The bank may however think that I did this on purpose to avoid being asked about the gap (during which I was traveling and preparing for those additional exams). Do you think there is a fair chance that my offer will be rescinded? I don't want to sound too paranoid, but I'd just appreciate any help on this one as it will be my first background check. Thanks in advance!
