In 2021, I held an hourly role at amazon for about 8 months while simultaneously working a second job as a PM. I’m now considering applying for a PM role at Amazon but want to omit Amazon work experience on my resume. Instead, I want to emphasize the duration of my second job. Amazon keeps a record of their past employees. But will they actively verify that I previously worked there if I omit the experience? I left my second job at the end of 2022 and have been with my current company since then, focusing slowly on this single role. Please share any advice 🙏🏽 #hrissues #amazon
Of course they will cross verify lol. Are you for real? Just list it and tell Amazon that your current employer knew about and was cool with it. They won’t give a shit whether or not your current company actually approved of it but not listing it will draw all of the wrong kinds of assumptions.
Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by “current employer knew about and was cool with it”?
They will know.
Op doesn't deserve this job if he/she seriously believes AMZN wouldn't verify.. rofl
Background checks verify 7 years and up to 10 years
I think you would be safer leaving the Amazon experience on and changing the dates of your PM experience so they don’t overlap. They will likely just be reactivating your old account and know when it’s a “rehire” vs a “new hire”
