Why cant I get an interview or at least a job?

Lifeofanurse · Oct 22, 2011

Unfortunately my interview..in a nutshell sucked donkey ba!!s.

They weren't interested in me in the least and it was obvious.

I got the feeling that they had already filled it but were required by corporate to interview a certain number of people.

and I'm upset. I was crying this afternoon about it but I feel better after a nap and about 6 mini hershey bars. I don't want to work for crazy rude people who think nothing of wasting others time and then acting like it's MY fault I'm not psychic. My interviewer would not be a good boss to me. So I don't WANT to work for them. The right thing will come. I have faith and I pray everyday God send me to where I'm supposed to be. and..he will! :)

do you know if a suspension shows up on your preemployment background report?

Only if your license was suspended. A former employer is restricted from sharing any info regarding your job performance.

I work in a very small community that has lots and lots of SNFs. We all know each other either personally or by reputation. If any director calls another director, we are very truthful about a prospective employee. We don't want to send a colleague a bad employee. It might not be what HR wants to hear but it is what it is.

EVERY snf is connected one way or another!

That's what I thought too. I'm glad someone else said it.

I understand that if they ask you questions like "have you been fired" You are not obligated to say yes or no. They are only trying to get you to admit it. When I worked HR, before my RN, the only information someone would get on my employees was yes or no, whether they worked there or not, and the dates of employment. No other information.

That's easy: order your own copies of your background check and your credit reports. Background checks cost anywhere from $25-100. By law you are entitled to one free copy of your credit report from each of the three big credit agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) per year; if you already have ordered a report for this year additional reports can be between $10-20. It's wise to check all three reports since they can say different things.
Use Google to find out where you can order these.

they can determine if you get the position by your credit score???? It has nothing to do with nursing skills, and some people come from a hard spot that wants to better their lives.

A employer asked me at an interview for a nurses aid job how I made end meets if I didn't have a job. she was eager to find out the truth about me. Although I never have had any criminal background, I felt like a criminal when I left her office. She wanted too much personal information in the interview. She wanted to know about my family, which is not allowed. My friend told me when someone ask information about my past to tell the employee I didn't need to work because my uncle left me money when he passed away. I went to her office to give her my criminal history sheet which was cleared from any crimes. When I got to her office she said i had an interview that day at three O'clock. I thought another interviewer. I told her I could not stay for the interview because I had other things plan for the day. I went to the other interview that day which is sitting with a lady. I was upset that she dropped an unexpected interview on me The whole interview felt nonprofessional and couldn't deal with with it since I just left a job for being unprofessional. The next day I called her thanking her for an interview and a few other things to smooth over the situation. I sit with the lady till she passed away.
