While we are on the subject, maybe you can help me with my situation. I was let go from my most recent non-aviation job. The job was through a staffing agency, with whom I have worked before. It appears, in the opinion of the agency, other agencies, and all my professional friends/acquaintances that it was a personal case of a boss just not liking me, and she made up some minor reasons to get rid of me, without warning, after only 4 weeks on the job. My agency has been on my side and trying to help me find new positions in that field (with no luck so far).

I can say "contract ended" for the reason for leaving, which is neutral and can be said for all but one of the temp agency positions I've had (6 in the last 3 years, one of which I resigned from). The recruiter at the agency says they will only verify dates of employment if called for a reference. When I interviewed at Eagle a few weeks ago (for the pipeline) they had me fill out/sign "permission to contact" forms for past employers only in the last 2 years. Thoughts?
