2.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hiding Why You Left a Previous Employer, or,, Why You Were Let Go<\/b><\/span>:\u00a0 This is a sensitive subject for many people. \u00a0How do YOU explain to a new employer why you were fired from your previous employer? Should YOU disclose why you were fired from my last employer? When a new employer is checking on new employment, in most cases your previous employer is only allowed to disclose your dates of your employment and if you are re-hirable.\u00a0 If the answer to the re-hirable question is no, then you will need to explain why you aren’t re-hireable. \u00a0Life is a learning lesson, and in a case such as this, it is best to follow up this explanation with what you learned from the situation and how you have grown from it. \u00a0It is important to remember it is a small world, and you never know who may know you at the new employer.<\/p>\n 3.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0H<\/strong>iding Information That May Show Up on a Background or Drug Screen<\/b><\/span>:\u00a0 This is a pretty simple area, but still something that happens consistently.\u00a0 You will get asked the question; \u201cCan you pass a background\/drug test?\u201d \u00a0If you answer “yes” \u00a0knowing you are not able to, then you are lying and it will automatically get your application thrown out.\u00a0 If you are looking to burn bridges, this is the fastest way to accomplish that.\u00a0 Employers spend money on these screens, and it is very important to disclose information up front.\u00a0 Every employer is different, and you may not automatically be disqualified because of a ding on your background.\u00a0 If in doubt, ask the employer.<\/p>\n 4.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Providing a Friend as a Manager Reference<\/b><\/span>: We live in a day and age where any information we want, we can find through many different sources.\u00a0 LinkedIn, and other social networking sites will quickly unveil this lie.<\/p>\n 5.) \u00a0 \u00a0Falsifing skills you have or have gained in your past employment<\/span><\/strong>: Never live by the mantra; \u201cjust as long as I get the job I can learn or prove anything.\u201d\u00a0 This is a quick way to get fired, and lose credibility.\u00a0 If you state on your resume, or in an interview you have done something in the past, it very well could be expected of you to do this in your position.\u00a0 All employers would rather a candidates be truthful about their past experiences. If you do not have experience in a required area, explain, and give examples, of how you plan to pick up this new skill to make you successful in your position.<\/p>\n I am a strong believer in being honest in all aspects of your life.\u00a0 Think of how much better you will feel when you get a great job, and you never have to look over your shoulder because of information you were hiding.\u00a0 Preparation is the best way to combat anything you are unsure about.\u00a0 Always put a positive spin on things, and in the end it will turn out for the best. Everyone will fail, and it is important to remember this.\u00a0 It is how you get up after you fail that will define you.<\/p>\n
