Isn't that just a kick in the pants

Actually, one good thing regarding the company I was working for until recently is that they are a "Neutral Reference company"...which means they will not indicate WHY I no longer work for them - only that I don't.

So, that can work to my benefit.

First Interview today - I told the woman - I'm working with HR to determine exactly why I was separated.

Second Interview - I told the gentleman - (The cliffs notes version of above) - with the addenda that "I am waiting for a final statement from HR for a definitive reason for my separation".

Both still look promising, and I haven't lied or hidden a thing.

(Edited to correct stupid spelling error and to add the notes about today's interviews).

i would recommend something along the lines of "my career had run its course there and i feel it is time to look for a new challenge in a company that i can build a long term career with."

mentioning anything to do with previous hr, complaint, or even personality conflicts can often make them wonder what happened and scare them away when obviously there is no need for them to be.
