In reply to Interview next Fri.- what to say about last job, posted by Poet on July 30, 2004, at 13:48:16
I quit before I was fired from my previous job working for a dentist. When I got over the trauma of the job - it sent me spinning into a deep depression that I'm only now recovering from - I started interviewing for a new job.
I told them that I had left under less than perfect circumstances due to philosophical differences. How the job was presented to me and how it ulitmately turned out were completely different. I had felt the position had been misrepresented and on that basis, I left.
I told them they could not expect a good reference from her for that reason, then offered 3 references from peers and vendors I had dealt with.
I got the job. It was the truth, and I didn't have to say that I hated the old boss, nor that I freaked out because of the pressure.
That's what I did, anyway. I've been here for over a year and they love me, I love them, and life is much easier without the job stress from having a boss who doesn't know how to be a good one.
