for an admin job. how does one explain why they have not worked for 6 months?. should i mention the redundancy briefly or not? i certainly dont want to say i got made redundant twice in a year, its not going to look good. its less hours than i can do, i need 16 to come off benefit but i thought best not to mention that unless i got to interview stage and things were going well. aggghh help.
a question for the legal people too if i may. as some of you will know, my last employer was great but due to a dept closing i got made redundant after 3 months. my employer before that i had worked for for 8 years. if anyone was to phone them up, after winning this tribunal against them (i know they can refuse a reference)...but what if they were to give me a bad one to be spiteful? can they do that? verbally i mean? is there any way i can stop them slating me?
