It's a racist term for hispanic. I was referencing the other thread where folks who say they oppose national identity cards are saying they want to mandate landlords checking citizenship. Sometimes I'm not gentle when pointing out hypocrisy.

I hate that question! Do they want you to be tactful, or honest?? Then of course, your day is ruined wondering which one it was. I also hate:

Are you willing to work overtime?

Evil fuckers.

Kagen4o4 03-30-2007 05:07 AM

Trilby 03-30-2007 06:20 AM

Why did you leave your last job?

Ooooh. That can be an uncomfortable question. Assuming you've nothing ... actionable to hide, tell the truth. Look, the person asking the question knows you've parted ways with the last company. Everybody knows that. And everybody knows that had things been just peachy keen, you'd still be there. This answer has some... what ... difficult news in it, news that there was a disagreement between you and your former employer. There's no hiding it. So now that the "secret" is "out" you can quit sweating it.

Think about this too: the interviewer probably wants to hire you. They're at least hopeful that you'll be "the one". They want to hear your answer in a positive light. They want the old company's loss to be their gain. There are ways, acceptable, ethical ways to phrase the reason(s) for your departure.

One emphasis I like to make is "It was a mutual decision. They wanted more X and I wanted more Y (where Y is strikingly similar to the situation I'm applying for, not coincidentally)." If it was a "layoff" I include the company's financial reasons--implicate them and their responsibility for the change. It's important not to badmouth the old company. It's also important not to overtalk this on. Quick and to the point and then shut up and let the interviewer move on.

This can be a difficult question, but it can also present a big opportunity for you to impress the interviewer with your positive potential. It has downside risks too--most especially if you lie. Don't lie. I know you knew that already, really. Tell the truth in a favorable way to your receptive listener, don't worry, and then move on.

I've answered this question a lot of times, and though uncomfortable, it's not fatal. If the interviewer doesn't want to accept that you've lost a job in the past, you probably don't want to work for them anyway.

Shawnee123 03-30-2007 09:43 AM

My ex b/f had a job interview this morning. He was fretting about that "why did you leave" question. He was honest the last time and it didn't help him out. You just never know. I was coaching him last night...you know "make eye contact, be sincere, you don't want to say your old boss was a stupid fucking man-billy dyke whore tobacco spittin' cunt." But she was.

I hope it went well.

Sundae 03-30-2007 09:51 AM

It's a standard application form question in the UK
The NHS application form asks it for every employer you have had. Waste of space asking someone why they left a job back in 1988 imo. It's not like they'd check back further than 2 jobs anyway so why bother asking?

Luckily the next time I am asked this my answer will be "relocation"

Shawnee123 03-30-2007 01:34 PM

So ex b/f went into the place, introduced himself, and said he was there for a job interview. They put him into an orientation. He starts Sunday Night (3rd shift.) I'm happy for him because I know he'll feel much better, and happy for me because I'm hoping I'll get some of the money he owes me. :)

Sundae 03-30-2007 01:36 PM

Yay! Congrats to Shawn (and yes - here's hoping it benefits you too)

Shawnee123 03-30-2007 01:37 PM

I think he owes me a dinner when he gets paid. :)

I like to answer that question with:

"Because the security guard said I should."

I hate the first one worse, though, where the interviewer asks about examples of when you were uber-worker.
