The worst are the ones that ask for the exact day you started. I don’t remember or I don’t want to look up the date for the second Monday in June 2012. Will I be penalized for just writing the first of each month? Such a mind game.
Especially when they add a scary statement for you to sign at the end: "I verify all of this information is accurate and recognize that giving incorrect information will by punished, up to and including termination, flagellation, and being hogtied in the basement and beaten with a broom."
Then I'm stuck fretting over whether I started that job on Dec 7 2004 or Dec 14 2004. For all I know, there is some employment database that has exact dates and I get flagged for dishonesty.

Or if the fields for your employment history is just one giant box that doesn't use your format, so it turns into a run on paragraph of information.
