Interview questions

Honesty is the best policy. Just try not to dwell on it during the interview and say you learned from it if you did?! That's the most important thing I would think. :redpinkhe

I did learn from it, thank you so much for your advice!!

Well, heres the thing, I had a friend visit me at work, the supervisor saw this person and I was later called in. I had NEVER been in trouble before for anything, this was my first. I didn't know what I was doing wrong. Is this worth mentioning to a future employer if they ask me or should I not mention it?

That's a tough call. I'm not so sure I would say that I was forced to resign...

how is that breaking hippa? it doesnt sound like you disscussing anyones treatment, dx, etc? I have said hi to my friend one time when my grandma was being treated in the hospital she works at.

If you resigned then you were not fired. You had a disagreement with your boss that you couldn't resolve. Honestly it sounds like there was more to it, maybe that you weren't aware of. If I was hiring you I would want to understand your reasoning. I wouldn't want to hire a flake who would quit at the first disagreement. You had a friend visit which was against policy and you weren't aware. If you were pressured to quit against your better judgement you might say in hindsight you wish you tried to work it out and will in the future. Good luck.

I wouldn't reveal why you left the previous job. I'd say something general about working closer to home, changed specialties, needed more hours... In this tough job economy, I feel like we don't have a lot of options and if you need the job, I'd avoid anything that would reduce your likelihood of getting that job.
