Is it okay to omit jobs on an application?
It’s common and 100\% okay to omit a job if you don’t think it adds to your application (because it’s too long ago, because it was a short term role, because it isn’t related to the position you’re applying for, etc). Resumes are not intended to be a complete career history.
Can I omit a job from my resume will that job still show up in an employment check?

Should I list all jobs on resume?

Can you omit work history on a resume?
Do you need to include all the jobs you’ve ever had on your resume? Short answer: No, you don’t. But be prepared to explain why an old job isn’t listed on your resume if the prospective employer discovers it or asks about any employment gaps between the jobs you did list.
Do employers really check work history?
Employers verify employment history to confirm the information provided by a candidate is true; the work experience is sufficient to meet the position’s requirements; and past titles, achievements, or responsibilities are valid.
Does a background check show all previous employers?
Technically, no background check will ever show a candidate’s history of past jobs. The most common background check that employers run is a criminal history search. This search will uncover conviction records, but it won’t provide a record of where the candidate has worked over the years.
