Your ex-employer cannot legally

Your ex-employer cannot legally release the information that you were fired or say anything negative or positive about your performance, for that matter. The only information an employer can legally reveal about an ex-employee is the following:

1. His or her start date
2. His or her title at the time of leaving the company
3. His or her last day with the company

You now have a strategy for answering some of these questions in an optimal way. Keep the interview like a first date—memorable, fun, and not too heavy. Don’t get into personal details that may end up backfiring on you.

What-If Questions
Questions behind questions often come in the form of what-if questions:
QUESTION: What would you do if you discovered that another employee
was stealing from the company?

The real concern behind this question is not what you would do if someone were stealing. It’s more about loyalty and whether you have good judgment. See if you can guess which of these answers would be the best for this problem:
