conversation: User (sad2122): "Hello Everyone\n\nI created account just to post this. I recently lost my job and I am in deep depression. I gave my everything to this place. I worked 15 hr everyday and one night I got in altercation with colleagues at bar and lost my job. My client love me so much that they still call me if something could be done. They hate the colleague I had fight with and everyone knows how bad he is.. But they can't do anything as my company terminated me.\nI read online that ineligible for rehire won't get me a new job either as they will call my prev employer for verification. Please help. I am a computer consultant :(. I have never been in such a pain. :(\n\nEdit: I am US based. Is there someone who can tell what exactly is verified when they call your previous employer. I have good references which the new company can call directly and ask about me but if they call HR directly, I am not sure how that will go.."
  Self: "I work in the software industry and in my experience as a hiring manager most companies will only verify you worked there and the dates of employment.  If, and note the if, they were to verify you were ineligible for rehire they wouldn't give the reason.  Giving any more information would open them to legal issues they don't want to deal with.  The only exception is salary information and most times they require a authorization.\n\nIf you want to be sure what information they will give have a friend call and request verification as a potential employer.  Doing this will put your mind at ease so you can move forward.  You need to accept this job is gone and move on to the next and likely better opportunity."
