Impact of prior employment on character and fitness evaluation for licensed attorney
Hi all, I’ve been licensed in another state for about eight years. I was at my first job for a little over a year, but then was in a state of chaos right after.
After leaving my first job, I had two jobs in the span of one year, and left both pretty abruptly. The second of these, I left in less than ideal terms. I wasn’t disciplined, but I was not a good fit for the role. I ended up putting in my two weeks notice, but ended up going home and making that notice effective immediately and cut all ties.
I’m not proud of it and have done a 180 with subsequent employers. I’m proud of my work and relationship with employers since then, but as the time passes, I’m growing panicked about what occurred with the two jobs I left so abruptly, especially the second.
In terms of the character and fitness evaluation, does anyone have any experience with something similar? I’m growing worried that I may not be cleared because of this.
