How does it work? Will they know its not the correct person? or will they just send her a form to fill out so she can give me a good reference?
Should I just tell the truth and say i got dismissed on the form...im scared that they would withdraw my offer.
P.s. it's only a clothes store (retail) so its not a major job position or anything but im desperate for a job|||Yes of course it will be found out - she's hardly going to have a sheet of your former employer's writing paper on which to give the reference, is she? Employers are more and more wary of accepting references by telephone or e-mail without a formal reference on proper letterhead for just this reason.
Don't do it or you'll get yourself into a worse mess. Tell the truth and you might be OK - unless, of course, you've already lied during the application process...|||You shouldn't expect this of your aunt, it's not fair getting her to lie for you and it just sets up a whole heap of explaining to do if the truth comes out. I guess a lot depends on why you were dismissed from the last job and if that's the only job you've had? If it was for any kind of dishonesty through stealing then it's likely the store won't want to employ you. If it was for mucking around rather than doing the job or because you were continuously late/unreliable or had a very bad attitude etc then you're going to have to convince your new employers of why this time you're going to be so very different. I suspect you're quite young so you could use that as some degree of excuse and that you have now recognised the value of employment and intend to work very hard to show them that you are an employee they can be glad they took on and gave a second chance to.
Rather than get your aunt to lie, you could ask her if she would write a character reference letter, to support your application, may be you could get a former teacher to do the same (if this is only your second real job since school). If you have been employed before this then hopefully someone there can also provide a reference for you, but of course, if you were fired from that job too then your hopes are going to be significantly reduced.
Telling the truth remains your best option though, and I hope you opt to do that.
Good luck.|||Many employers fail to take up references that they ask for. But they certainly will sniff out a lying applicant, and you would dismissed again, with another bad reference!
So, please, don't even think about lying. A good employer is more likely to believe and accept an honest person who got some bad luck. But no-one will employ you if you start trying to deceive them from the start. They often write to your old employer's Head Office, whatever address you give, and a faceless HR person will reply.
Just be ready to explain why you were dismissed and what you have learnt from the experience. You wouldn't have got this far if you didn't have something good to offer.
Best wishes.|||When someone says something like "if I heard that a detective was trying to talk to me, I've forgotten about it," that sounds reeeeally skeevy. In fact, it sounds like you're making excuses so that when there ends up being proof that someone did tell you, you can say you forgot instead of looking like a liar.
It sounds to me like you knew there was an investigation, but you figured that if you were gone, they wouldn't or couldn't do anything anyway, so you chose to ignore it. Well, they continued the investigation, and someone found enough probably cause to issue a warrant. There is no way to get this resolved easily now.
Here's what I would do: hire a lawyer. You can turn yourself in here rather than transporting yourself to Georgia, and then it becomes an issue of whether or not Georgia thinks it is worth extraditing you. At least then it is done at their expense. But then you get to sit in jail here. Really, this is too serious for you to handle without getting legal representation. Since you live out of state, it is very likely that your bond would be way higher than the detective is telling you.
