thats a tough one. many employers dont call past jobs, they just care that you have a job history. an eight year gap is a big thing unless you have kids you were taking care of or you were going to school. you dont have to put you were fired. you obviously had longevity at each job if you held them for 8 years and that is what employers are looking for. you just put "let go" or "laid off". if they catch you in a lie about your application, that is grounds for termination.

so if you havent been in school or taking care of children, you can say that you have been taking care of ill family members i guess for all this time or traveling the world.

otherwise just be really confident. use strong word about having good customer service skills. focus on communication, friendliness, courteous, kind, patient. hard worker, dependable. reliable. know as much about raleys as possible. ask questions such as what do they expect from you as an employee. dont ask about money or time off.
