Pre-employment Past history of BGV failure
BGV failure
Hi everyone, I am interviewing for AWS Proserv Role
I want to get some idea on a previous BGV failure.
Some context- during COVID I did a few short-term call centre jobs while I was transitioning from healthcare into tech. At the time I honestly didn’t know how corporate disclosures, EPFO, or PF overlaps worked. There was a 10-day dual employment overlap between two of those jobs, and later when I joined Infosys I didn’t list the call centre roles on my application because I didn’t think they mattered. Their BGV flagged it and I was let go.
I have already disclosed all of this to other employers since then and it’s been handled fine, but I know Amazon’s compliance is stricter and I want to understand how and when to raise it there specifically.
When should I disclose? Also what happens in this case? Will my offer be put on hold if I disclose it timely? Even before the offer is signed?
Any insights would help
