Open Question: Good reason for resigning from previous job on future applications?
Monday, September 13th, 2010Hi all,
I’m currently unemployed seeking employment, I’m 19.
I was previously employed at a major pub/restaurant in my city centre, yet I was increasingly marginalised, bullied and outcasted there which made the working environment completely intolerable. I worked there for 4 months, but was considering leaving after just 2 months. I decided to stick it out, but it was only getting worse.
I resigned into unemployment and I’m now looking for a new job.
With regard to previous employer, I thought I would put as “reason for leaving”, a common field in every job application form down as “Left to persue personal goals”, a positive and vague citation as opposed to citing the bullying I experienced.
Good idea?
