Bad reference

I was terminated in November for "policy violation" I commented on a co-workers Facebook post about how messy housekeeper leaves area. Anyway, I e been on four Interviews...All went really great ....But, no call back. I have a feeling my old employer is giving me a bad reference, which is so unfair. I was an excellent worker, always came in when they needed me and went beyond my job expectations.
How can I find out if this is what's going on? I've NEVER blown Interviews in the past. Ever.

Here in Sc&Nc they have a uncontested law that says a employer can terminate your employment without any provocation. How does a whole State of people allow that to happen? So it's not you it's them . BECAUSE if they admitted to releasing you for what you did in private then your amendment rights to free speech would then be violated.

Most interviews I have been on or given always include, "tell me a little bit about yourself" or "tell me your worst experience at a job and tell me your best". This would be the best time to admit breaking the policy unknowingly and include 10 years of dedication . Best of luck to you.

Never post anything on social media about where you work and never friend co workers.... Employees will go on your social media just to get to know you.....keep work. Strickly professional, ...think before you friend people and NEVER. talk about work on social media

IT IS AGAINST THE LAW FOR AN EX EMPLOYER TO SLANDER YOUR NAME. THEY CAN ONLY SAY IF YOU DID WORK THERE, AND IF THEYD HIRE YOU BACK. ID HAVE SOMEONE CHK IT OUT, IF SO, YOU HAVE A LAW SUIT. THAT EX EMPLOYER IS KEEPING YOU FROM EARNING YOUR LIVELIHOOD, BEING YOU CANT SURVIVE FINANCIALLY OR OTHERWISE,DUE TO THEIR SLANDER.

And employer can only ask if whether you are up for rehire,they are not to go into details about your work habits, or your personal life.

Do you Believe,in the Gospel of Jesus Christ? If not read the Bible,start in John and get to know how much we are Loved by our Creator, and Loving Father! We are not what the world views think we are,we a spirits living in a body,with a soul and mind.The conflics and trials in life are a siritual battle in our minds,against evil and good. Satan being evil vs. God being all Good and all Loving, Seek Our Lord Jesus with all your Heart,and you will find all the answers you are needing.He will fill that emptiness that all people have and try to fill it with worldly stuff.You will fill that simply by God's Bible and living by it.Its an instruction manual on how to live in a sinfull world thru the Victory Jesus paid for all of us on the Cross!!!!!!!The Truth Shall Set You Free! Just Believe Him,not the lies the devil deceives us with or tries to those who have not Been Saved By the Death and Ressurection of our Savior Jesus the Christ, Amen [so be it] Go for the Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
