How to find a job after being fired?

Is it possible? It seems impossible! ALso, anyone know any good reference checking services that you can use where you dont have to provide SSN Number. Reliable and not scam.
maybe leave that job off your application if possible? or try another area in nursing? I guess it also depends on why you got fired. my only other advice would be to apply apply apply. at some point, someone will give you a chance. You just have to hang in there.it seems like with nursing if you make any kind of mistake, you'll get fired. I mean I know we care for people, but we're human too.good luck!

what did you get fired for?

Yeah....maybe the two threads could be combined???If you can't or don't want to discuss the basic issue of your termination, it's hard to be helpful

I was terminated for being rude and for other stuff that I innocently say I did not do. Yes but I've been researching and found out that a simple background check will reveal past/ previous employers. Anyone know if this is true? ALso, anyone know reference checking services that dont ask for SSN?

Nursing is tough.

Well I was accused of two things. being Rude! and something else which is just bad

You probably need a SSN for applications and such. You have to fill out an I9 form whenever hired. Do you not have one??

why do you want your SSN hidden is my question. Be too secretive with employers/ back ground checks and no one will hire you...you can come off as shifty.

Trying to cover it up is going to cause you a lot more consternation than the actual incident or dismissal. Be forthright and demonstrate you have grown from the experience. When (not if) they uncover your attempt to obfuscate your employment history you can kiss any potential offers goodbye. So in other words, honesty is the best policy.

If I was in the position to hire people, and I had two candidates who were equally qualified on paper, and one reference check revealed a past employer who had wonderful things to say about the past employee and emphatically stated that they would rehire this person, and another who was very closed off and not forthcoming with praise and/or stated emphatically that this person would NOT be considered for rehire, I would naturally choose the candidate with the positive reference. That's why they check references to begin with-to get a feel for the past work history of the person applying for the job. It's not impossible to get a job after being fired, but you are at a distinct disadvantage in a tough job market.
