After going through a couple background interviews, one where I failed badly, I am beginning to think that the criminal things I have done are not as big a concern as two other things that I want to bring up for discussion here.
First, there was an incident at work where I used swear words around my boss while he was giving me instructions. Basically, I was getting frusterated and needed to vent a little. I did not disrespect him, which he affirmed, but did convey my frusteration. Afterwords we talked and there was no ill will.
Second, I was dismissed (I always put down fired) from a job I had for two months. I was let go because my supervisor decided my schedule was not flexible enough. When I was hired I made it clear that I needed a flxible schedule (I basically warned them I wanted my schedule to be able to change weekly).
Based on my discussions of these events, it seems that the BIs think I am not dedicated to work and inadequately prepared to handle stressful situations. Besides these two events my employment history is excellent. The boss that I cussed at is even one of my best references. I really don't want the perceptions of these two events to keep me out.
