Sign Sequ up to work at the county fair. He can man the "You Must Be This Tall" sign.

No it's not. They can easily just say she was fired. They won't get in any trouble for that if it's true she was let go.The point I was trying to make earlier was that if she leaves the job, the worst they can do is say she worked there and for how long.

True, but atleast they can't make stuff up about you. Legally, that is.
Of course not. That was never a question, was it?
There is the job at McDonalds for keeping kids out of the playground equipment that are too big.

Okay, I see there are a bunch of COMMODE-ians in here today....
hardy hardy har....laugh it up fat boys!
hey, i didn't say a gotdamn thing...
agreed that 'lack of advancement opportunity' is your friends best bet.
It was a joke BZ! I think it was from the old SNL, belushi I think would say it.
i know sista...i'm just kidding around.
I wasn't. If she can make pie, I know a place she can always find employment.
A past employer can only say when the individual work there. They cannot say why they no longer work for an employer.
Think about it...if an employer and employee part ways for what ever reason and the employer wants to black list you even if unwarranted because he feels you left his business in the wrong terms he could say anything and have no consiquences. If for what ever reasons the employer may feel wronged...whether true or not they could say all sorts of outrageiys things.....believe me can, will, and does happen.
Sorry but you are wrong. I worked in the personnel industry for 12 years. Previous employers can definitely say why you don't work there anymore. Most don't because of fear of lawsuits, but they definitely legally can.A past employer can only say when the individual work there. They cannot say why they no longer work for an employer.

Blacklisting/References (Labor Code, Sec. 52.031):[Return to Top]
It is unlawful to blacklist an employee in order to prevent the employee from obtaining gainful employment, and to conspire with others to prevent an employee from obtaining employment. Violations are punishable by fine of up to $250 and prison term of up to 90 days. However, companies are permitted to provide a truthful written statement about the reasons for termination, and cannot be sued for making a truthful report of problems with the employee.
You may be confused about what blacklisting is. Bascially, it's when there are a limited number of employers for a specific occupation, and they all share of "list" of people they don't want to hire.
You can absolutely provide a reason someone was fired to a prospective employer. Many companies have policies against this since you are a big, fat lawsuit magnet for doing so. Truth, lies - it costs money to defend, so you're better off just verifying employment.
Legal or not our company will only confirm employment and I've been fired before and it has not hurt me at all. At least I don't think I've ever not gotten a job because of it.
In the medical field, such as nursing, most agencies and new employers required a semidetailed reference form to be filled out by your previous employer.
, this is easy..
Really it depends on what kind of new position we are talking about. If its like the job she had before, in the same field, your friend should say that she really enjoyed the job, but XYZ's company goals no longer seemed compatible with her own. Try to add something the new company offers that her old employer didn't offer - a more professional work enviroment, better benefits, more hours...
If the new position is better than her old position than she should say that her old job no longer was compatible with her professional career development and she needed to stretch her wings and explore new advancement opportunities.
And remember, the next time you need something spun post it in the Political forum
