I thought I'd open up to the collective SF knowledge base.
Got let go from my previous job (it was a revolving door, there were 3 people in the span of a year in my position before me), but I'm trying to get back into the business. Unfortunately, being let go raises all sorts of red flags.
On the good side I have plenty of good references that will back me up from my old workplace and vouch for me.
Current situation: I am on the cusp of a pretty awesome opportunity back in the field I want to work in. I have interviewed separately with at least 6 different people from this place, they have all vocally said they think I have the most potential of the interviewees for growing the position. One of them told my on the sly that the only reason the manager hasn't hired me is because being let go from my last workplace is a black mark on my record. Mind you, the last place I was at is notorious for high turnover.
I have rockstarred the interviews, my references have spoken for me, but the only thing left is the hemming and hawing of the hiring manager over being let go. They also recently re-posted the job on a hiring website, but at the same time they continue to interview me.
What else can I do? Am I on the losing end of a long battle?
