I'm applying for LE jobs in Florida. I completed the academy and put in multiple applications at various agencies. I'm working on an application now and realized I haven't been putting an employer on my previous applications. In 2008, I worked for a company for a short time period who offered additional hours through their sister company. I didn't apply for this extra work but was allowed to take it. I now realize looking back the sister company sent me separate checks while I worked at my main employer probably less than 40 hours of work.

I've come to a dilemma should I put this work experience on my future applications? If I do this my future app's won't match my previous ones which will be pulled during a background check and my app's will obviously be inconsistent. A LEO buddy told me I just should wait until a background interview occurs and mention it. I also haven't been listing a job I worked for a month while I was 16. Most agencies I've called before putting in an have told me it isn't necessary to list a job before I was 18. Should I put this job on future applications too?

INCLUDE THE JOB. MANY AGENCIES WON'T LOOK AT ANOTHER AGENCY'S APPLICATIONS. IF THEY HAPPEN TO, AND ASK YOU ABOUT IT, JUST BE HONEST.

I agree with CA77. Most police departments aren't going to compare applications unless there is a specific reason to. List your past employers as accurately as you can. If you didn't intentionally inaccurately provide information, then it shouldn't negatively affect you.

List it. It will look better.

Just list all employers
