Question Posted Tuesday March 30 2010, 3:56 pm

my young neighbour has an interview, prob is she whilst working at tesco picked a sandwich off the shelf, walked to the canteen at lunch time, and ate it!! She says she looked for a supervisor to sign for the sandwich, and could not find one, because I guess she did not have the wit to plan her lunchtime needss properly.
She also says that on her way to find a supervisor after her lunch in tesco time not hers as hers is limited, a supervisor found her, and challenged her.
No real challenge. She was given the option of handing in her notice after four years service, or being sacked for gross misconduct. She gave her notice in, got another job several weeks later sacked because of bad reference from tesco. Now some months later she has another interview for another job what can she do re references. Does she have a leg to stand on?

When you write your references on the application, check the box for them not to contact them. Both of them. Because if they call the one that says that she had a bad reference from the one store they will be curious and want to call.
If for some reason there is not a plcae to say do not contact, maybe don't put the phone numbers down.

Try to give them no way to contact these places without saying you have no experience. So show that you worked there, but it is not important as to why you left.

Hope I helped!
