Almost lost out on a job offer due to a bad reference

Was hired to do virtual workshops, but the company didn't get the contracts they hired me for, so they assigned me other work I wasn't qualified for. I raised an objection to this, and the owner said, "just do your best", which I did. When they continued to not get work, I was verbally notified that I was being laid off. This week, a potential employer did a background check on me, and even though the owner rated me 'Excellent' on all performance categories, they reported that I had been terminated and wrote a very negative review, saying I performed poorly (on the duties I wasn't hired for). I disputed this with the background search vendor, stating that I was not provided any documented notification that I was terminated. Any suggestions? What other recourse do I have? #termination #backgroundcheck #interview #advice

How would you handle it if they asked "How do we know you won't leave the moment a better opportunity comes along?"

For me, staying in a role comes down to growth, stability, and feeling that I’m contributing in a meaningful way. I’m not looking to jump around—I’m looking for a company where I can build my skills and grow over time.

I would be clear in stating my intentions prior to starting with a company and be transparent on what my goals are. of course, I will always look to advance.

How would you handle it if the pay range they mentioned in the interview was lower than what was posted online?

How would you respond if an interviewer asked you a question you completely blanked on and couldn't think of an answer?

How Fast Background Check Errors Can Hit Uber Drivers

If you are an Uber driver and something about your background check does not make sense, do not assume the problem is automatically yours. Sometimes the issue is the report itself.

We have seen reports with the wrong record, outdated information that should no longer be there, or details that belong to someone else. But the app can still react first, leaving the driver trying to figure out what happened after the fact.

That is why it is so important to move quickly. If Uber says there is a background check issue, try to get a copy of the report right away and read every part of it carefully. Look at the names, dates, charges, locations, and anything that does not look right. Save the emails, screenshots, and notices too. Many drivers do not realize that background check companies can make mistakes, and those mistakes can affect their ability to keep working.

For a fuller guide on how Uber background checks work and what drivers should watch for, read this: https://consumerattorneys.com/article/uber-background-checks-everything-you-need-to-know

I’d like to interview as soon as possible.

In Customer Service positions I believe we must keep the name of our work, our purpose front of mind. #interview #jobsearch #resume, remote or in office #workfromhome, or on site #Veteran, #available.
