I still work at MQ part-time and applying with other companies. sm - Thank you

Posted: Aug 22, 2011

What do you put on the application when they ask why you wish to leave, or the reason you left your last job? I only had this question on one application. Like I said, I still work part-time at MQ and my real reason is that my job will probably go to India like so many others have. Would you actually put that reason or what reason would you give them?

I usually just say the work is drying up. (nm) - Meerkat

Usually when I say I work at MQ - They say No Other Explanation Necessary

Everybody has the word on this dungheap of a company.

no other explanation necessary - not surprised

MQ doesn't care what names they are called just as long as they're still fooling unsuspecting people with their marketing jargon, etc., and we all know how they excel at that. Just like the Elvis song "They're (You're) the devil in disguise." Only instead of adverising with red they decided to use a disguise with the colors of saffron and orange from their lovely compadres in crime!!

LOL! Your reason wins the grand prize for - being the best. LOL!

yes, I would give that reason - Ayn

Nothing wrong with being honest. And I would be sure to ask them if they offshore!

Reply - a generic answer

I usually say: N/A, still working there. Then once I get an interview, I can exaplain. Believe me, they understand and actually like it when people look for a better job when theirs is going bad and are still working for the bad place at the time of application. It's actually a great move.

I say work is going to India - nm

I'll leave them as soon as a full-time position opens up.

Please, please, please, check out the companies that post on the job seekers board before responding to them!

Yup, they might be up and running again, but there's nothing on Google about them other than they used to be a company under this particular person and they haven't been a ...

I worked for MQ full time and then went to part time last year, before finally quitting altogether because of health problems. I seem to remember an obscure policy that if you were full time and then went to part time, you could not go back to full time for a period of at least 1 year. Can anyone verify that for me? IF, and this is a big IF, I were to go back to work for MQ, I would need to be full time. ...

Does anyone care to share that if you are hired at optiscript part time will they let you change to full time easily? I know they are a small company and do not over hire so I do not know how easily this could be done. I am thinking of cutting down to part time at my current employee so I can work part time elsewhere and eventually just leave my current employee once I see how the land lays elsewhere. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated :) ...
