WHAT REQUIRES A GOOD ANSWER?
Many of us have some explaining to do. Here are some of the issues that benefit from a good answer:
- Changing careers or industries
- Having been fired, or quitting
- Being laid-off more than once
- Negative reasons for leaving
- Shaky work history (gaps, short blocks) due to raising a family, addiction, education, prison time, health issues, etc.
- Strong education but little experience
- Negative assumptions about ‘people like you’ – age, race, gender, religion, ethnicity, lifestyle, weight, past, etc.
- Criminal background or former addiction
- Involved in legal action with past employer
- Currently pregnant
How does the employer know? Often from our work history, references, or because we tell them!
Is it legal for hiring employers to consider these issues? Some yes, some no… but what matters is that IF it comes up, you are ready with a good, honest answer that reduces their concern and highlights your qualifications.
