    Default Job Interview

    So those of you who read about my "I'm Fired" thread, I have an interview today at 4 P.M. est time.

    I'm so nervous, what if they ask me about my last job? Should I tell them I got fired? What should I say???

    Just talk about your past job, leaving out the part about being fired. Talk about your raises, don't be tempt to scream out that they fired you.

    Just relax, don't do it. XD

    Anyway, there much be other stuff you should talk about.

    Well as long as they made the mistake, then you have nothing to hide.
    I'm happy

    If I were you I'd probably just skip my last job and talk about the one before that. They often ask why you left your last job, and unless you have a good creative answer in mind, saying that you were fired doesn't go over well.

    Edit: Saying that it was their fault and not yours probably wouldn't sound very good either. Just stick to the positives.

    Backed, you don't have to put down every job you worked at. Now, if you put it on your application, and put down you got fired, then that's a whole different animal, you kind of have to mention it if they ask. In the end, honestly is the best policy, sounds lame, but it works. Good luck and hope ya get it! :D

    If it comes to the point where you NEED to talk about being fired string the sentences differently.

    For instance
    "why were you fired from your last job"
    "My previous employer released me for yada yada yada"

    Spoiler!

    Some people might interpret that as "I got fired" but it seems you're in the clear.

    What kind of job is it anyway?

    I'm playing WoW full time. LOLOLOLOL

    My homeboy hooked me up with it. He took me to go fill up the application and he knows the managers there very well.

    It's at Champs at the mall, not sure if you guys have this store in your town.

    They sell shoes, sports jerseys, and etc.

    well i just went over there and the guy who was suppose to interview me is out sick today. D: so i have to reschedule with him. >_<
