Title: Job employment history question
Post by: Mr. O on December 08, 2006, 01:33:35 PM: Hey, I'm applying for a city job in LA..but i need help. Should I be putting down all my jobs? If so, what should I write down about a job that I was laid off? I need serious answer here.

Also, if I don't remember one of the jobs' info..what do i do? Leave it out?

If you were laid off, by fault of the company, and you didnt do anything wrong, then its cool to list, just explain what happened, company was experiencing financial problems, and they had to let you off.

its not that hard to find job's info, what info are you missing? if you put the job in your resume and leave some info out, then it shows you didnt realyl take the chance to research it, especially when its a company youve already worked at. so its either leave it in and find all the info, or leave it out completely.
