    For fired........try to make peace with the employer and extend out a olive branch and try to get them to say you were just laid-off due to cutbacks then apologize and thank them for the employment opportunity.

    If the application says "employment dates" for previous Job and the answer box looks like this: ____ / ____ What should I put down for it? Does it mean (for example) march 18, 2018 / march 19, 2019? Or is it looking for the exact date of my hire like march 18/2021?

    I can appreciate the content of this video. However, when does a job ever end well or without negativity? If things are great, they don't end. Negativity is an unfortunate consequence of any cycle of productivity. Come on already, the world is far from perfect. When is anyone on the job search as a result of a positive experience with their previous employer? No one leaves their great job, and goes jobless to find a better job. I've heard this before, it just doesn't make sense to me. It's like having your entire city wiped out by a tsunami, and having nothing bad to say about the experience. Like as if no other seaside town would have you as a resident because you have something bad to say about the last seaside town you came from. Employers are going to have former employees who are disgruntled or dissatisfied and don't have nice things to say. They can't avoid it.

    How about, "how to avoid job applications and still get highered"? 😂😂😂😂 I'm serious! All the best, hardest workers I've known come with hardly anything! Just a social security card and a phone number or sometimes just a phone number! And they quickly do the fastest, finest work while knowing hardly any English at all!! We actual American citizens are getting shit all the time just to get minimum wage paying, general labor jobs while illegals just get the job the very same day without needing all that tedious, irrelevant detail for job applications that could all just be BS given by the applicant anyway! Before, job applications for average, general labor only had a reasonable amount of info that was asked for; things that are actually needed, like your full name, s.s.#, your home address, phone number, emergency contacts, your education, and a simple description of your skills. But then, spoiled rotton employers started wanting ridiculous, detailed job history with dates, ADDRESSES and even the frick'n phone numbers of supervisors!! And they want like 5 of them or at least THREE of those!! 😂😂😂😂😂 So stupid and ridiculous! They also started wanting 3 contacts of idiots you don't even know (😂😂😂😂)! Then, they even started adding little math pop quizzes! And now, those assholes even want a damn, vain, resume and cover letter for underpaying minimum wage jobs too!!??? What's next? A short film about our personal lives? Jesus!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 The average American is doomed!! No wonder so many people are always out of frick'n work!! Now it all makes sense!! People just want to work, man! Not spill their guts trying to impress cheap, slave-driving employers! We Americans have to stop kissing ass, acting like slaves with no lives or time needed for ourselves and need to take back America!! 🇺🇸🗽🔔📣
