I ran out on my last job, on my first day, during my break? CONT?

Question

I ran out on my last job, on my first day, during my break. And now the company I am being hired for (Bank of America) is asking for every single company I've ever worked for, and that if there was a conflict with this information (down to the exact month I quit) that it would affect the hiring process? So in continuation. . should I still mention it?

Answer 1

not just no but HELL NO.

if it ever comes up, you 'forgot'

Answer 2

It probably won't benefit you to mention it. If you're asking whether it is ethically right or wrong to do so, then I think integrity deems that you should let them know.

But again, it won't benefit you to do so.

You don't mention why you "ran out" on the job, but in the future it would be best for you to not burn your bridges, face up to things if you have to, and say "I've realized this was a mistake and I am turning in my resignation. I'm willing to work with you until you replace me (or for two weeks or whatever). Don't leave any employer holding the bag - it would look far better on your record if you handled something like that face-to-face, instead of running out with your tail between your legs. (So to speak....)

And if your leaving was due to sexual harrassment or some sort of discrimination on the part of the company - again, you should face it and go through the proper legal channels, and not just run out like a victim. That leaves YOU holding the bag - even if you ran because you were mistreated, it's up to you to blow the whistle.

So take responsibility for yourself going forward...and you won't find yourself facing moral (and potential job-in-jepardy) dilemmas like this one again.

Good luck!

Answer 3

I've walked out on a couple of jobs. No big deal. Companies fire people on their first day and think nothing of it.
As I told one employer, "If I wanted to work with ***holes I'd have been a proctologist".
Some jobs are just not compatible with your personality and it's better to try something else where you'll be happier.
Bottom line: don't mention it.

Answer 4

Don't even put that job on your resume. That can't investigate anything they don't know about. When you mention conflict, did you mention that job verbally or in writing with anyone at BOA? If you did, then you probably just shot yourself in the foot. One would have to wonder why you walked off a job on your first day though

Answer 5

The answer lies in whether or not you were paid for your half day of work. If you DID receive pay, technically, they were an employer. If you simply hit the road and never got a check, I'd NEVER mention it.

Answer 6

Some jobs are listed on your credit report. I cant see them listing you if you only worked one half of a full day.

They may never even find out about it.
