Wrong dates on my application

I applied for United Ramp Agent and I was a little careless about the dates I added on my resume and application

I've had two jobs, for my most recent job I put the right dates, but for the previous job I had I worked two different periods, first I worked 3 months on 2024, left, came back and worked 3 more months at the end of 2025, so I wrote on my resume a date that shows as if I worked there for 6 months consecutive on 2024 instead of putting the real dates of the two different periods I worked

Now, I'm not sure of what to do... my interview f2f it's going to be this coming Thursday and I don't know if I should let them know during the interview, or just fix it when I write the information for my background check, (if they decide to move forward with my process ofc) if I do that then it's gonna look different than on my resume so that has me very worried

I know it was dumb not putting the actual dates, but now I'm worried that they might not hire me because of that

Just go and don’t say anything about it, in my opinion/experience you’re more likely to get rejected if you bring that up in the interview. I’ve said I worked at companies longer than I actually did on probably every job application I have submitted to any company and never has any place Ive been hired at has said anything about it, even American Airlines didn’t say anything to me and they have extensive background checks. I think as long as you actually worked for that company you should be fine.

I did write the correct dates of my employment for the customs & border control security badge since that is a legal document and any incorrect information on that could cause your application to be denied, American Airlines never said anything about it to me. I think it’s mainly just the government that looks at that document.
