I have applied to Delta Airlines for a flight attendant position. I passed the video interview and now have to interpersonal interview in a month or so. I have carefully put down every employer I have worked for going back 10 years prior to the date of application. I have been fired from 2 employers, both of which are in the automotive repair industry. Both are chain companies, Pep Boys and Sonic Automotive. I was fired from Pep Boys in December 2008 for engaging in a physical altercation with an employee who is a known bully and has attacked another employee before me. Problem is that I started by pushing the SOB when he got up in my face. Worst of all, I reported to the DM which ultimately cost me my job, a low level oil change technical position that pays $9 an hour. And prior to that I was fired from Sonic Automotive group Honda dealership in May 2008 for insulting a female employee who refused to date me. I was pulled from work to talk with the HR personnel for the first time and was warned; I apologized for my actions. However, being 18 and completely immature, I was impatient with the female employee that I called her a female dog. 2 days after the incident on a Monday, the lead service director terminated me on the spot, requiring me to signed a termination document with a check on "ineligible for rehire" box. Furthermore, the second in command service manager told me that I don't have to tell my next employer that I got fired because it is "against the law" for him to give me bad reference. He just told me to say "oh business was slow thats why I quit" kinda scenario. However, I did apply for an Auto Zone store 3 weeks after I got fired from the dealer and got hired shortly when I went with my service manager's advice. Me and the dealership service manager were on good terms.
With all that being said, since that was 8 years ago, should I bring it up to Delta Airlines? I was 18 and totally an immature prick that I just didn't realize what I was doing back then!
i deal with customers for nearly 10 years without major problems. Since you didn't pay close attention to my question, I will deem your answer irrelevant and an insult to my inquiry. You may need to find a line of work that involves you trolling with people. Perhaps, you oughta apply for law enforcement, which i doubt they'll hire you.
