Hi,i joined tcs and worked from 2019 to dec 2020. Then in dec amid COVID met with severe accident was hospitalized lost all contacts from company and was no t able to inform them so after few days they terminated me saying I was not able to be contacted. After getting discharge i went to company returned everything and tried to contact hr they were not ready to listen anything and for the relieving letter and experience letter demanded 3months salary. I was financially exhausted so was not able to pay.
Now today got few interview offers from startups and some mnc so have doubt how to counter this problem of experience letter and relieving letter should I tell in interview about my previous employer and all this problem and tell to either wait for couple of month so as i could earn money and buyback my relieving letter or ask them to accept without that or simply hide my prev. Experience. Can you please guide me.
Either you have to pay the notice pay amount,
(or) you have to be genuine with your new employer about the exit from your previous job.
(You can explain your situation by showing your medical reports).
I did the same I paid the required amount and I even raised the ticket on portal several times , now my money is also gone and they are even denying to provide me my experience letter
I have a total of 3.5 years of experience that started from June 2018 to current date.
Recently changed a job in month of Sep 2021, but I left the job due to some reasons. I worked in 2nd organisation almost 2 months and received the salary as well and my PF has also deducted from there as well. I put the proper resignation but it was not accepted and company declared me abscond. Now for the Relieving and experience letter company is asking 3 months un served notice days salary.
If I join any new organisation without showing them my 2nd organisation details anything, will this make any impact in my career for future prospects?
Having a few months gap in between jobs is common nowadays, instead of mentioning it in the resume you can keep it as a gap.
Very few companies consider it seriously but it is better to be prepared with a proper answer to describe the gap (or) reason for leaving the job so early.
