On an employee background check....?

can a employer bring up the past jobs an applicant has held in the past, when they run a background check? Im wondering because theres one job I want to delete off my resume.I don't know if an employer can find out about the job anyway.

A background check does not bring up past employers. Usually all it does it check for any criminal history such as any arrests or charges.

If you don't want a certain employer to be contacted, simply take that one off your resume before you turn it in. Some applications also have a section where they ask if they can contact a past employer and you can select no, but be prepared to explain why. Some people may think of that as suspicious. For that reason, it may be better to not include it at all.

Most employment applications ask for "complete information and that you can be terminated for not providing such"

But on a resume you put down what you want. If you had a job you will get a bad review from, be ready with a good explanation.

They will find out. Trying to hide it could lose you the job.

Background checks are to see if you have a criminal record. Where previous jobs are concerned the only information they have is the info you provide. So if you want to leave a job out then you can go ahead and do so.
