Please help new job but i have past issues there

mstar

Hello ALl

I was wondering if anyone can help me. I resigned from my last place of work (a large multi-corp organisation with separate companies) after been given the option of being dismissed (gross misconduct) or resign and leave on a clean slate. Reason was on my laptop !!!!!! was discovered which was not something to this day i don’t know how it go there. As the laptop is my responsibility and company data could of been at risk i was found to be guilty and no option but dissmissal (which I accept as I should of never left my laptop open unattended I live in a large tenanted house). It went through the normal process suspension, hearing, decision etc.

My question is a separate company as part of the bigger organisation has a job advertised with all my experience and are desperate to interview me. it’s been 14months since I left, i am worried that the HR/my Manager(who is a great guy) my find out and veto my employment OR during the vetting process with HR systems? etc. I am 99% going to decline due to the history but thought i ask does this mean i can never work for the company again, as HR/People will stop my employment or at least see me in the building and raise an issue? My performance was top-notch and no issues with my work BTW.

Not sure how these things in the employment sector work, am i permanently blacklisted not to work for the company and any of its adjacent companies? On file and my references from them it states I resigned as normal, and found no problem with my current employer.

please help

why not agree to interview and take it from there? I can't see a negative to just having an interview?

It will be down to the policy of the organisation.

It's possible when checked they will find out and refuse employment. It's possible they may not.

It's also possible that if they're that large, different building and different company that no-one will even know, check or find out.

Sorry not to be more helpful but it will entirely depend on the way they check employment. I'd be surprised if they let someone back in who had gone through a disciplinary for !!!!!! on a laptop, though, if they do find out about it.

Yes, but it be a bit of a waste of time i have to take some hours off work, preparation and no it be all disappointing if they turn around and say "well you left under circumstances which we don't want to employ you"

Sure - but no-one on here can tell you that as we don't know the organisation's policy or the person interviewing and what they're likely to do!

Ask them upfront, then you'll know. You could call up and say "I used to work for X, but I resigned under difficult circumstances, will this be a problem in reapplying?" Not an ideal conversation to have, but if you don't want to waste your time, I don't see you have any other option other than not applying at all.

(If they run an HR Shared Services centre then it's very possible they will know and check as it will very likely be done by a central department.)

How did you apply for the post? i.e. was it an application form, and if so, did they ask about previous employment and reasons for leaving?

I agree with other posters, call them up, shows that you are honest and wanting to save them time and money if they should interview and discover they are unable to employ you.

It is by agency. I just think it be more hassle then its worth i don't have any of their policy documents on re-recruitment. WHo knows they might have internal systems which my flag up i was a previous employee and left under a cloud.

Personally I wouldn't. You're unlikely IMHO to get a good result, so don't waste your time.
