I interviewed at a publishing company yesterday, and I asked the two interviewers what had made them decide to join the company. The head of HR said that he'd known people in publishing who had told him it was a good industry to work in. I asked him who and he said AI. I said, Oh I know her, we worked together at Pearson, she's great.

Now I'm worried that he may decide to give her a call and ask her what kind of employee I was. The thing is she knows all about my drinking problem, and while she doesn't know all the details of the settlement, she does know I left due to my drinking problem. I'm worried she might tell him that, and it'll knock me out of contention.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
