Hey all,
I searched the boards and could not necessarily find the answers to a few basic questions I have.
Previous Work History on the application. I've been at the same place now for four years, prior to that my work history has been spotty... by spotty I mean 2 months here, a month there... a few jobs that lasted a year. I tried to go through my past T4s and a few of the places I worked at prior do not have any information on previous workers past the 5 year mark. I don't want to 'mislead' on my application by giving approximates unless I have no choice. Since some of you may have done this grind before, is there a specific area of (in my case Service New Brunswick) that could give me a work history based off my SIN? I subscribed to the EI section of SNB but it told me I have no records of employment.
Second and Lastly. I have a few members of my current employment who are aware of my interest in the Armed Forces. Many of them are rooting for me to get in. A manager has said I could use him as a reference, however the company's standpoint on this is very negative. Rumours of people being 'let go' for seeking other employment when the possible recruiter called. They did not have absolute justification, but the nitpicked his work history, and well, he's history. I am all for them calling to verify my current place of employment, but could I provide the CF application with my direct manager who said I could use him, or would it still have to go through the HR Department?
Thanks for your time.
