Dear Evil HR Lady,
Let’s suppose an employer ask you to resign. You left peacefully for whatever reason. You later find out they are saying “No we would not rehire,” when a new employer inquires about you. They already said no to unemployment benefits. You want to move on in life. Even the unit manger is bad mouthing you. It’s really that bad.
What do you put down on a new application? Some application say ‘Can we contact your past employer?’ Should you say no and hope to still get an interview? The old job is the only one you have worked at in the last 20 years. Should you just throw in the towel, so to speak?
