Can you leave out past work experience on job applications?
Of course you can leave it out, though you may be asked to explain the reasoning behind why you were not working for the time that is unaccounted for. You could always put it down, and say the reason for leaving was personal, or a difference of opinion. Your job is legally not allowed to say that you were or were not terminated. They also can not give you a bad reference. While you may never find out whether they do or don't, if they do give you a bad reference and you find out about it, you can sue them.
I left my job without notice period I do not have an experience letter or a relieving letter from my employer is it compulsory to join corporate firm?
Company ask previous employer documents for following reason :Offer letter and reliving letter to verify your tenure.Reliving letter confirms that there is no due with your previous employer.Payslips confirm your package with last employer.To keep proper documentation is a compliance part.About the compulsion, it depends upon company’s policy, some are lenient they can do away with reliving letter and can acept resignation mail as a proof. (Generally startup and small or mid size companies)But there are companies who do not compromise or do exception with their policy and standard procedures. In such companies employee have to submit required documents. (Generally big or cmm/iso level companies) However, if it is critical resource they may try to figure out ways.In your case, it is advised to explain your situation and tell the truth that you do not have reliving letter and also mention appropriate reason. Because in absence of reliving letter your background verification will come negative which will put your negative impression and may lead to employment decline as per the company's policy.Hope above information helps.
Is it ok to leave blank "May we contact this employer" on an application or to put no?
Dom, If it's just one employer you don't wnat them to contact, it's OK. If it's more than one, yes, it will raise concern. Everyone has a bad job experience. Recruiters and hiring managers know this. Saying you had one bad experience is OK. So long as you have good references everywhere else, you have nothing to worry about. Hypothetically, if it comes up in an interview, jsut say you had a bad experience there. If they ask the reason, say something neutral that doesn't blame them or yourself for what happened, i.e. "My supervisor and I did not get along, it was a clash of personalities." Maybe give an example in which there was a misunderstanding. -- Liam
If an employer marks you as non-rehireable even if you did not get fired, is it possible to get another job?
I would use it on a resume, for sure. After all, you quit. They didn't fire you. You would not be eligible to draw unemployment. But former employers are very careful what they say about former employees, these days. The less they say, the better, because they don't want to take a chance on a lawsuit. All they will tell your next employer is your job description and the dates you were employed with them.
Can your past job give you a bad reference?
Ok, first they cannot give anything but a start and end date or just verify that you work there....Reason for leaving they can only say ...Fired...Laid off...Voluntary leave...Retired...or Resignation...They cannot give details about why they were let go or give a bad reference, or a good reference for that matter. I don't know what state KAYLYNN E aka HR MOM works in but in California, the past employer cannot give anything other that what is listed above... 2nd KAYLYNN E aka HRMOM-If you work in HR for a national COMPANY...don't you think you should learn how to spell company (this is the correct way...not comany as you had spelled it) Nice HRMOM Covering up that you are full of S**t
How do I explain a bad boss as causing me to quit my last job in an interview?
Never speak bad about your prior company, work, boss or colleagues. Never ever at any even the worst possible circumstances. You must not lie either but when asked about your prior work say that it was a great challenging environment but that you discovered your passion for the mentioned new work area and that based on your prior experiences and your additional skill set you feel that you can be a great asset for your new employer.Let me tell you a for candidates very disturbing truth. Your new employer does not care about your past troubles, any reasons why you left or what else happened in the past. Trust me on that, not at all. They care about your ability to fix a specific resource and skill problem in their current organisation and they also care about how you will talk about them in future after you may have left your new employer. No boss or organisation is perfect and nobody likes a former or this case future employee talking bad about them.So show professionalism and talk about your former boss in your best possible words but short to the point. Emphasise his strengths and the value he gave you as his subordinate. Obviously, he let you to move into a different more desirable direction in life. Publicly thank him for that.People who know the truth will appreciate your high personal standards and people who do not the truth do not care in any case.Personal greatness starts with forgiveness.
