I recently applied for a job in corrections at a county jail.

Question

This is my second corrections job that I'm applying for. The first job I ended after two days of work because I also worked at a university police department, had an internship, and attended school. The lieutenant asked me why I quit after two days and I said that it just wasn't the best choice I made at that point in my life but I deeply regret quitting the job. I also assured him that the same outcome would not happen again. What do you think my odds of getting hired are at this point? (background check is good)

Answer 1

Depends on a couple of factors: good references, the amount of other applicants, and simply if you sold them in the interview. The fact that you have a good backround will work in your favor. Chances are if they really need to fill the position they might over look the previous job.
