    Sigh, let's try to believe that anyone cares what you think. If you require a security check or a DBS , then neither of them give a damn what you think. You provide what they ask for, truthfully, or not. And if you get caught lyin, you either don't get the job, or probably get dismissed. I don't write the rules. Neither do you. These are simply facts. And if you don't like the fact, that really is tough.

    and yet you reply :rotfl:

    If you have had loads of jobs and can't remember dates then you can't remember. Not a case of blatant lying. Needs to be put on the application form that dates of employment are to the best of your knowledge. Still worth applying for though and shouldn't put you off. People doing the DBS checks will get to know your employment history anyway

    Good thing to do is keep a note of all your addresses, dates you moved to them and left, dates of employment and all the details. Keep this info in an encrypted folder in a password protected computer that has no internet connection. I do this, use one computer for internet and another for storing personal details.

    And also purchase a tin foil hat.
