It's a tough call. Since the hospital job wasn't your most recent one, the interviewer may not ask you about the circumstances surrounding your departure. I probably wouldn't volunteer that you're not eligible for rehire, but if they ask you, be honest, and make sure to emphasize the line in your posting: "I have since learned from this experience and do not intend to repeat this again." Good luck!

I am interviewing for a new job next week. I worked at a hospital prior to my current job in home health. When I left the hospital I planned to work per diem and had given my two weeks notice to go from full time to per diem. After starting my new job I realized I was not going to have time to work per diem at the hospital. I left the per diem position without giving two weeks notice and was told that I would not be eligible for rehire. I am hoping that this will not come back to haunt me while I interview for new jobs. Should I tell them about this in the interview? Or should I wait to explain if they check my references and ask what happened? I have since learned from this experience and do not intend to repeat this again. I am open to any comments or suggestions. Thanks.
