hey all,
I will be a new grad in May, 2013. I am applying for new grad positions however I have a huge problem. When I was young around 19 or so, I worked at a staff agency for a temporary position (non-healthcare related). It was for the summer. I worked with other young people like myself and we would joke a lot at work and do practical jokes on each other. However, one day one of my co-workers took this seriously and complained. I was surprised as this was sometime later during the day. I got terminated for "borderline misconduct" The staffing manager for the agency was not upset, she was really supportive and talked to me saying I am young and I should use this as a learning lesson bla bla bla. She tried finding me other placement and stated that she understood but she has to do what the client wants. I didn't take anymore positions as I wanted to return to school. My thing is this is haunting me. I do put the job on my application as I am not a liar. How will this affect me getting hire when they call them. I spoke to her she said they only give out dates and rehire and that I am eligible for rehire. Any suggestions. I have great records in school and at other jobs. This happened 5 years ago.
