| Nov 28, 2014 at 14:05 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | Before an interview? I don't have time for that. After an interview I may check references, but by that time the OP has explained the details of the job-that-never-was | |
| Nov 28, 2014 at 13:59 | comment | added | Myles | I would worry about an employer calling HR to confirm that the OP had in fact worked there. From my understanding this would be standard HR practice in many organizations. | |
| Nov 28, 2014 at 11:12 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | The OP signed an employment contract. That is being hired. Yes, my wording implies "hired, started Nov 1st, laid off Nov 30th" but that can be true if you were hired Nov 1st, start date Nov 15th, laid off Nov 7th. The OP can clarify in interviews that actually coming in to work never happened, but on the resume this sentence is not a lie. | |
| Nov 28, 2014 at 10:22 | comment | added | starsplusplus | I love the idea. But "laid off the month I was hired" might be stretching the truth a bit - didn't OP say that the job offer was rescinded before they actually started work? | |
| Nov 28, 2014 at 0:28 | comment | added | user56reinstatemonica8 | This is a very good answer, but it might need different wording because the job was cancelled before it started ("one week before I was to start, called me to tell me ... they couldn't afford to hire me any more"). Maybe "Employment cancelled due to financial crisis at ABC Corp"? | |
