  • Applying for newpositions

    Hi all,

    As some of you are aware I suspect I am going to be dismissed next week, in fact I am now resigned to the fact, if you pardon the pun.

    Rather than moping about and blaming myself and the evil empire that has created the mess I find myself in, I have today renewed my efforts to find new employment and am in the process of finalising a few applications.

    My current employment has lasted 7/8 months, 5 of those were spent dealing with a grievance of discriminisation and victimisation which was dismissed and I am potentially going to be dismissed for 2 seconds of unrelated stupidness on my part.

    My question is what is the best way to handle this on application forms, CV's, interviews etc, I am profoundly deaf and this itself makes it exceptionally difficult to even get an interview or be taken seriously on most occaisions. Now i will also have the hurdle of a dismissal for gross misconduct to overcome also.

    If I include the details on CV, application forms then I'm sure if I got an interview I would put my case and the interviewer will make there own determination on this situation, but isn't it likely simply to turn potential employers off even recruiting me.

    Then what would happen at a reference request stage?

    Is it better just to remove the employment from my CV and application forms or to be honest.

    Hi Jay, sorry to hear about your situation.

    I'd put it on.
    If you start lying about your work history you might end up making things worse for yourself, it's best to be open and honest (you would expect a law firm to say that!)

    Remember when you get your next job you'll have to hand them your P45 and last employer is always on there.

    All the best for the future.

      Always be honest about it, will come back to bite you at a later stage no doubt!

      not that I have read your thread but have you considered resigning than awaiting a dismissal? You could then state you left the business and only that point when they question why you either be truthful or skirt around it or tell a lie.
      If you have a question about the voluntary termination process, please read this guide first, as it should have all the answers you need. Please do not hijack another person's thread as I will not respond to you

        I don't see resignation as an option I am afraid. I may have made one slight mistake and I intend to face the consequences of that, my employer on the other hand has made numerous significant mistakes and I intend to make them face that regardless if they want to or not. If I resign then I may loose the oppurtunity to bring the matter before a tribunal for resolution as whilst I believe my case is constructive I am not sure if I have enough to prove it.

        PS thanks for the advice, I deep down knew honesty is best policy, just not a pleasant reaslisation that I am going to have to explain it time and time again

          Certainly if you have/are making a protected disclosure and they dismiss you then you have an improved case for Unfair Dismissal. Get the advice of someone like Whistleblowers UK, ourselves or any party trained in whistleblowing before you do anything.
