I need some advice. I was wondering how to go about getting my work history for the last 10 years like most companies require on their online applications. I have a stable work history however I am having trouble getting the exact dates of my jobs and I cant remember them either. Calling my previous employers hasn't been much help. I know I can get this info from the social security office I believe however I know there is a charge for this. It cost something like $156. Is this my only other option?
Obtaining exact dates on previous work history

I was unaware that SS charges money for our own records. I had a record search done on me, but several years ago, didn't cost a flying penny.
As the others say, try to remember the month and years. '
What I have been doing for God only knows how long, is I keep one of those small pocket note books, the spiral binder type. in reverse order, I jot down employer, start, end, salary reason for leaving, address, ph numbers,. done deal.
I then rip out any job past the 10 year point, say year number 11, it gets ripped out, so I only have past 10 years. If any employer wants more, I give them directions to the landfill, they can go dig it up themselves. -

Thanks a lot everyone for all the helpful information!

You need to keep a "diary" starting now of previous jobs. Company name, hire date, fire date, address, phone # etc. That's what you need to do……because, as you can see, you will get asked about it when job searching.

I add each job I have to a master list (unless it was worked 2 months or less)
-
I've always used approximate dates if I couldn't remember. If they need them exactly, They can ask when they call previous employer any way for references. If they dont call previous employers then they wont know any difference anyway..... ????
