You can try, but, you don't have proof, unless you taped the conversation. Isn't it illegal to ask an applicant their age?  \n\nYou can contact:  http://eeoc.gov/\n\nClick on Discrimination by type:  AGE and  see if there is anything that indicates whether you have an age discrimination case.\n\nMake sure you have the names of those that talked with you, at the sandwich shop.\n\nYou can also call Subway and tell them what happened.

If you were in a Union, you would definitely have a right to find out. I suppose by your question that asking is out of the question. Have someone send them a letter pretending to be a prospective employer asking about your employment history. If they say anything about why you were fired, they have violated Federal law. You will find out why they fired you, and can sue the pants off them.

Honestly, it is really hard to tell in those situations, I have gotten jobs in the past on just the basis of a phone interview, but I have also been told to wait for a call that never came.   You should look at it hopefully, but also do not give up you search for other opportunities at this point.\n\nGood luck in your search!!

It's your age.  I had the same experience when I was your age.  Of course you already know it is unlawful for employers to inquire your age, but there are other ways they can figure this out.  Your resume is the main source.  What I learned was to take all dates out of my education.  Simply stating the institutions is enough.  Second, take out all job history that doesn't pertain to the occupation you are applying for.  Thirdly, take out employment dates.  Simply list duration of time worked at each job.  Input a sentence before work history that explains the list is from most recent back.  Good Luck.

you have no choice but to put the truth on your application. when your interview comes, be honest about your last job without saying anything to trash your former employer. if they call and he trashes you, you'll never know what he said and the new employer will never tell you the reason for the decline.\nthe point is you can't just give up the effort altogether because you're afraid of what he MIGHT say. your other choices are to lie on your application and risk being caught. you might even be hired before you're caught then you really screw yourself for the next job you try out for. \nlastly, you can avoid work altogether and tremble in your room with no paycheck. \nno matter which way you go, good luck.

I have done research on this and the two questions that are allowable by law are:\n\n1) Verify dates of employment\n\n2) Is this individual eligible to be rehired? \n\nHowever, there are many ways to get the information needed. Everyone knows someone who knows someone, and it goes on and on. If you fudge on numbers on your resume', job history, or on an application, it can be verified and then you are seen as a risk due to being dishonest. It's always best to answer honestly!

Are you serious?\n\nFirst off, you can't get a job in this country without completing an I-9 form proving your eligibility to work here.\n\nIf you filled on out fraudulently you have no case.\n\nIf you didn't fill one out and started working, you can contact the labor board in your state but immigration will send you home before your case is solved.\n\nGet proper documentation!!!

just don't put anything...and when the interviewer asks about the gap you can tell them yourself...look at it this way...Why would you want to list unemployment for staying home, when it doesn't benefit your resume in anyway...and you can verbally just tell them the truth of the missing job history area...Interviews are people too and they understand that some times...this happens.\nputting down that you were a house wife during that time, doesn't benefit your work 'real' work history...and it's not going to dissuade the employer just 'cause you didn't put it in there...you have a valid reason for not being employed...and since it's true and you recognize that it is not pertinent to the resume..it looks good for you in more ways than one...1. your not trying to complicate your resume with non-work type duties and 2. you are proving yourself to be an honest person by just telling them that you weren't working due to....x..y..z...\nalso, i am not saying that house wife isn't a job..it totally is!!!  i'm just clearing up why not to post that info. on your resume...

Sounds like you're doing everything right.  Sometimes it'll be a couple weeks for an interview, especially if they're not in a rush to fill the position, or they're hiring you for an upcoming project, or maybe someone you need to meet is out of town for the holidays. I've applied for jobs and not got called for the interview until a month later.\n\nUsually the offer will be within a few days of the final interview (it's a good idea to call of email a couple days after to thank them for meeting you, regardless).  It can never hurt to keep looking for jobs, though, until you get an offer.

Do not bring it up unless asked.\n\nYour former employer BY LAW is only allowed to verify the dates of employment, position and compensation....that is LAW.\n\nHowever....some employers will take liberties and attempt to blacken your name.\n\nHave a friend call your former employer under the guise of a hiring manager for XYZ company...and have them ask about your employment etc. You will then have a heads up on the type of answer/reference your former boss is handing out to the people calling in. It is better to know up front than not at all...\n\nBest of Luck.\nBTW...take the lesson learned from your experience and avoid making the same mistake at your next place of employment.

First, I would not say that you were fired. You weren't, exactly. You resigned and as long as you kept a copy of that termination letter you gave them, you shouldn't doubt that part of it. It feels icky when you think you've been fired.\nThen, due to the fact that you did have a legitimate reason to be away from work (health, der) they should cut you a little slack. However, it can't hurt to say that you are willing to start from the bottom and work your way up. Subbing, etc. As long as you can have that chance, and get your foot in, you can build trust and show that you are a worthy hire.\nWhy wouldn't you hire you? You shouldn't think that either! Did you want this to happen to you? Wouldn't you want a break?\nThat's all you need now. A chance, a break.\nGood luck!

don't tell unless they ask you, or pretend like you just found out a few months after your hired.  you can't get fired for that anyway, it's against the law, and they should be Equal Opportunity Employer.

Good luck with that.  Legally, all a former employer can confirm is dates of employment.  Anything else will violate EOE standards.  But, proving something was said will be impossible as neither side would have any reason to fess up to any in depth conversation.

It's possible, but unlikely.\n\nAnything you did for less than 3 months you should ignore unless it has direct (positive) application to your future position.\n\nAssuming you weren't fired for for a criminal act for which you were charged.\n\nIt is perfectly acceptable to say "that job wasn't for me" and let it go at that.\n\nMost employers understand and many have been there themselves. But, it's up to you. Don't tell blatant lies, but don't offer anything negative unless you are asked.\n\nGenerally, anything you do for 3 months or less is considered irrelevant unless it directly relates to the position you are applying for, or involves criminal misconduct.

My first thought is that they are jerking you around.  But, having to deal with interviews myself, I realize people don't have time to waste on such things.  They must be interested.  You are right on the brink of getting in, but there could be something on their side that does not allow an immediate hire.  Keep your patience.  Continue to show eagerness.  It should work out.  If nothing else, it is good practice for the next time.
