Have an interview Monday-need an excuse for losing job

enchanted771 · 07-30-2009, 04:01 PM

So the company i am interviewing with is one that my old boss had me call-the owner of the company. I would be meeting with one of the property managers. Do i play dumb and cross my fingers? or can i use another excuse like family, finances, etc?

Were you fired? This guys knows your old boss?

If your old boss knows the owner of the company then I won't suggest that it'll be a good idea to make an excuse because it could possibly get back to him. You can let him know that due to the economy there has been so cutbacks within the company.

I was let go but not fired. I called or emailed the owner and his asst a couple times, but not who i am meeting with.

so you were laid off? no shame in being laid off, so admit it. but if you weren't laid off you were fired. it's one of the two.

it was not due to the economy, the girl was really treating me bad. Like harassment, but my best bet is to play dumb.

you were laid off because you were being harassed?

The girj who harassed me let me go, right after vacation, and my son got sick and she let me go the next day.
