Applying for a job


Question Posted Tuesday October 14 2008, 10:03 pm

Alright, so I've worked once before for Old Navy, but got fired because of a big misunderstanding about what my schedule was and therefore I didn't come into work (which looks horrible). So now I'm applying for Adidas a year later, and on the application it asks if I have ever been discharged from employment. I was wondering if it is better to not mention it or to say yes I have and explain myself. I know you're definitely not suppose to lie on your application, but would they ever actually find out? Any help would be appreciated :] Thanks

Don't lie. Tell the truth and if they ask about it explain. When you get another job make sure that you are clear on what your schedule is.

Well, Dr. House would say "Everybody Lies" However, I don't think it's good idea to lie on an application. Because think about how much WORSE it will look if your new employer finds out about the first employer and then you are fired from that job also.

It is better to be honest with an employer. Because in my experience, you can get away with everything, but you can get away with anything forever.

Good Luck.
