Hello seniors,
I am leaving my current organization due to a very bitter experience and will be going for an interview this Saturday, hopefully for another job. Should I mention the problems I had in this job? Also, as I have not received the salary at all from my previous job, and it's the main reason that I have left it, can I ask for the same salary? I am sure that I'll be asked why I left this job. What measures should I take during this interview so that my previous mistake is not repeated?
Also expecting answers from Raj Kumar Sir, Mr. Sumeet Garg, and S. Bhaskar Sir.

Dear Nevia,
You could have a little more information. My questions are given in the *italics*:
I am leaving my current organization due to a very bitter experience and will be going for an interview this Saturday, hopefully for another job.
*What was the bitter experience? Was it a job challenge? Were you communicated the job requirements well before your joining that organization? Was there a mismatch between your job and personality?*
Should I mention the problems I had in this job? As I have not received any salary from my previous job, and it's the main reason that I have left it, can I ask for the same salary?
*The less you talk about negative experiences in the job interview, the better. However, you can mention that you did not receive the salary. By the way, for how many months did you not receive the salary? Why were you not paid? Is it that your salary was put on hold and other employees got their salary? Did you fail to meet any targets and the employers put your salary on hold?*
I am sure that I'll be asked why I left this job. What measures should I take during this interview so that my previous mistake is not repeated?
*Non-receipt of the salary is good grounds to leave the job and mention it in the interview, but the interviewer may verify the facts to assess the veracity of your statement. If it is proven false, then you may not be given employment.*
All the best!

I was appointed on 28th July and I am still going to the office but without an appointment letter and salary for the first month. I am the only one in my branch working for everything. I do receptionist's work, counseling, and even tele-calling and generating sales. My actual position is an English trainer.
Please refer to my other thread "how to get salary before I leave" for all the details.
Thank you so much.

Dear Nevia,
Do not mention any negative things about your previous company in the interview. If you mention it, the interviewing team will think that you have a negative mentality.
Next time, make sure to provide the company Pan Card and Company letter for obtaining any telephone connection. You can provide your details as an Office Manager.
Thank you.

I left my job where I wasn't getting my salary for August month, and they were making me do work out of my profile. I wrote an email to them on Saturday that I want my salary and appointment letter asap or else I have to reconsider this job. They called that I can take the salary till date and left the work, and I agreed. The boss said that his staff will hand over me the money on Sunday morning, but I haven't received it till now. What should be done if this continues, and what should I do to get the documents back which I gave for procurement of a telecom connection for the office? I have a letter signed by the branch head that I hold no risk/liability against it.

Dear Nevia,
Please check with a lawyer for the legal sanctity of the letter signed by the Branch Head that you hold no risk/liability toward the Telephone Connection. Why has the Branch Head not initiated the telephone connection in his name? After consulting with the lawyer, please submit a letter to the Telephones Department about your resignation. If there are any telephone bills due, you will not be held responsible, and if the Telephone department decides to continue the connection, they can do so without your liability, and your name may be removed from the connection as you have left the organization.
For the salary part, please do not leave your branch head and insist on him making the payment.
I hope you have taken a xerox copy of the Attendance register for July, August, and September months. Consult with the lawyer and file a complaint in court if required.

Dear Nevia,
Do not provide any photo or ID proof. If they request further documents from you, insist on a complete settlement. Write directly to the Telephones Department or visit them in person. Inform them of the situation and inquire with the JTO available in the office about the cancellation procedure for the telephone connection. Act accordingly.
Please send a letter to the company via registered post with acknowledgment due, stating that they should not use any of your documents or photos for any future purposes. Warn them that if there is any misuse of your documents or photos and you become aware of it, they will be legally liable for the misuse.
Try to politely negotiate for the remaining salary balance.
