Fema Employment

About why you left a job - What is shown on Government employment records that tell a new job why you left?

I;m wondering if the story that I tell the Head Hunter will be found out to be something different on Government records.

1. No government records exist with respect to the details of your employment unless you are (i) employed by the government; or (ii) have an denied unemployment claim ("fired for cause", etc.) Why? Are you planning on lying to the headhunter?
2. Details cannot be given about why you left.
3. Did you work for a government agency? Did you collect unemployment? Most companies these days will ONLY give out information such as: Dates of employment and Job Title. Most will not even state WHY someone left their employ. Why? Because we are a sue happy country and if they (the company) says something detrimental about us, we sue. So, unless you stole something and got convicted or shot up the place, the question that a head hunter will ask will be phrased like this.... Are they eligible for re-hire? Would you hire Mr./Ms. X back again? The government does not track people who quit or get fired...at least not yet...
4. I think that all that can be verified is start date, end date and rate of pay. Sometimes job title, but what can be released is pretty limited. Now if you were fired because of illegal activity and you went to jail, your background would show up in subsequent background checks.
5. No offense, but a headhunter is one of the lowest lifeforms on Earth, so there's nothing you've done that'll shock him he won't know to get around. If you ever speak to a headhunter who can bare to be in the job for more than 18 months, he'll know how to make Enron sound like Peace Corps. Since they work off your qualities, if he is considering you, he'll know how to extract what's good and conceal what's not. If he's good and wants to persue you, he'll teach you want to say and how to say it. They'll teach you hundreds of tricks like 4A's: attitude for the position, appearance at the interview, aptitude for the position, ask for the job - it's their job to make you look better than you are. Don't be worried about the potential employer - be more worried about the headhunter - they'll pump your ego up beyond you'll think. Make sure to double check what the actual job is when you are on the interview. I've been on enough interviews to find out the job is something totally different from what the headhunter said the position was.
