Yes it markets you in a better light, But what happens if you get an offer. Most employers will have you fill out an app and consent forms. Are you going to falsify your employment history then. If an employer does a background or credit check they might find out about those jobs you omitted anyway. Don't you think that will throw up all sorts of red flags if it doesn't get you fired. And if you make it past all that I will probably investigate if you slip and talk about some recent job that you conveniently tried to hide. I don't want people working for me who lie by omission.

If they are prone to do so, then it's no wonder you've made so little progress. <br /><br />Either that or YOU suggested that diagnosis and worked your therapist's response to mean what you wanted it to in your own mind. <br /><br />Either way, I feel sorry for the boss even if he is a pushy jerkface.TheLabRathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519299790907271971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-17194868403805242142009-10-20T11:43:21.170-04:002009-10-20T11:43:21.170-04:00Kerry, I agree.

My boss will not listen. I tried everything and finally exploded.</i><br /><br />My brother was stunned when he was fired years ago. "But I told them and told them they were doing it wrong," he said. "They had POLITICS in that office."<br /><br />Funny how bosses don't like it when you tell them over and over that you are right and they are wrong. <br /><br />Good luck in fixing this situation or finding one that is more suitable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-58329749433353785652009-10-20T08:45:43.118-04:002009-10-20T08:45:43.118-04:00I have to ask...how would changing you into a cont...I have to ask...how would changing you into a contractor have helped this relationship anyway?Kerry Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590443839479686201noreply@blogger.com
