I have been an aircraft engine technician for roughly 8 years. Unfortunately, my last three jobs have ended due to attendance issues. A intermittent health condition caused me to leave a job I had been at for nearly 6 years, and be let go from the next. I had resolved my health condition and was upfront about my past at the next job. The supervisor seemed understanding but cancelled my contract without a word after missing 2 days sick. How do I approach this going forward on apps, interviews?.

Check the box when asked if you have/had a disability, because you have and it’s a good CYA…

Then I would just say you were caring for a loved one and that took precedent… as long as you have reason to believe that you will not need another extended LOA, you should be fine…

As a hiring manager, I know for a fact that it’s classified information and only available to people with a “need to know”, think corporates version of top secret… it’s also used for reporting data, if regulators request the information, to show that they do hire and interview those with disabilities…

If your health condition is under control and won’t require you missing work, don’t mention it.
Definitely don’t mention you’ve been fired 3 times for health issues manifesting in poor attendance.

Sorry, this was 15+ years ago, i cant exactly remember

How did you deal with missing work in the past? Did you use sick days? Unpaid medical leave? Or did you just not show up to work?

Sorry HR, I missed the ops manager comment.

I’m considering switching from IB to consulting, and I have a few questions:

- How bad are consulting hours? How often do you pull all-nighters and/or work weekends?
- How much do you hate your job/life on a daily basis?
- Compensation? (Entry level, 3 yrs, 5 yrs, etc? Salary/bonus?)
- How much networking do I need to do to get in (with prior IB experience)?
- Are any firms hiring entry level candidates right now? (I heard some firms just hired ALL their summer interns)
