I put down the wrong dates on my job application. Now what??

Question

I got a call from a background checking place asking for proof of self employment. I found a Schedule C from 2003 but not 2002 and I had down 2002-2004 as self-employed. I kept looking for 1099s or something for 2002 and realized I had written the wrong dates. I believe I copied the dates from a resume I had used to get my last position back in March of 2004. I was there until March of 2008 and they didn't question my dates of self-employment so I guess I just never even thought about it since then.

I called the background place to explain and the employer that made the job offer and left messages for both explaining the error. Now what?

Answer 1

If you took care of it than not to worry!  I believe you handled it properly.  That should do it.  I never hurts to call them in a couple of days and see where you stand.  Most managers, myself as well, love to see positive people.
