Working for a Problem Company
- “I noticed on your application that you have been working
with a company that has been in the news lately. Can you tell
me about that?”
- “Yes,the company has taken some hits since the news about
the CEO being in trouble. I can tell you it sure made a difference
in my stock investments. As far as my work in the company goes,
I did my job as a marketing person and was not affected in any
way by the problem. It’s still a good company. It’s just time
for me to move in another direction.”
- “It’s been a challenge for me to have that company name
on my résumé right now. If I had been involved in some of the
decisions made, I might feel responsible, but the truth is that
I was hit as hard if not harder than anyone who had invested
in the company. I am sorry to see a company that had so many
great, hard-working employees and a solid reputation taking
such a hit. As for me, I figure it was a ‘speed bump’in my career,
and the skills and experience that I bring from that company
will serve me well in spite of the way it turned out.”
- “It’s been very difficult for the last couple of years after
the problems with the company hit the media. I was really hoping
that it would turn around because I believed in the company
and enjoyed the work that I was doing there, but it hasn’t happened.
So I am ready to move forward know¬ing that even though the
company had problems, I had a good work experience where I learned
valuable skills such as how to do more with less. I can bring
that skill to my next company.”
