My first job out of college lasted for 9 months. I hated it and wanted to go back to school for my Masters, but instead of quiting, slacked off so id get terminated and collect some unemployment. I know, really smart. Upon termiantion, my employer stated that " I was young with a long career ahead and it would be ok to list this job on my resume"
Heres my questions:
1. Can a background check uncover collection of unemployment? Is it public record?
2. SHould I call my old boss and ask specifically if what he meant was that he wouldnt say i was terminated.
If the collection of unemployment is private info,and my old boss wont say I was fired, im good to go,,but I dont want to get lie and get caught.
