job interview advice

It will be hard to explain yourself, but just do it, and be honest. Don’t bring up the fact that you are being honest, because it would also say that you occaisionally lie, which will not be impressive.

Usually when an employer sees that an applicant was fired, it raises alarms. If they generally like you and everything else on your application, they may ask you for clarification - that’s your chance to be honest with them, and as stated above, let them know you’ve been working through your anger issues.

mgt said they’ll only disclose how long I’ve worked for them and that I was canned, but they won’t give the reason. Will that help? And as for reference, I’ve listed two coworkers from Wal-Mart, both of whom said they’ll totally recommend me. Anyway, just asking.

I hate to be the one to say it, but there probably won’t be an interview if you put that on your application.

You can always put something else on the application, but when the new potential employer calls WalMart for a reference, you can pretty much kiss your chances goodbye.

You see? People never consider this stuff when they let their anger get the best of them.
