Help w/C & F

How do you go about addressing C & F when they are asking for information that you have already fully disclosed?

Long story short, I worked a job for a month before law school before getting fired. Terrible job that I was terrible at. But nothing to raise any character flags. I got fired quick and never cared to clarify the reason. Years later now, I tried to clarify when preparing my C & F app to no avail. The employer refused to tell me beyond saying I broke company policy (but not saying which one). I let C & F know everything.

Of course, the investigator got that information out of them, but I seriously have no idea what they're talking about. It's still a vague reason, literally a single sentence, with zero context. I've dug through all of my records and spent some time thinking .... nothing comes to mind. I wasn't even done training before they let me go, received no warnings, etc, etc.

I'm wholly aware that denying responsibility is the worst possible outcome, but I seriously cannot think of anything related to the reason they provided me

You really don’t remember why you were fired? I mean if that’s the case just say that.

I really don’t. It was a while ago, and when I tried to ask, I never got the reason.

And I did say that. That’s where I’m lost now. At every step, I disclosed that I didn’t know, tried to figure out, and now, I’m still stuck here

Well it’s weird to have a job right before law school and not remember. Just saying. Is this actually holding you up or have they just asked about it?

I’m confused. Is what the job said at odds with your account?

Not at all. I didn’t know why, and I disclosed that. I asked the employer multiple times later on for the reason, and they didn’t tell me why (also disclosed).

Now, it looks like the authority of C&F got them to finally give the reason. But again, it doesn’t add up with anything during my short tenure there

Sorry but what is the problem exactly? Is C&F now holding your admission?

i think C&F is mainly concerned about embezzlement, or something else that is actually really shady not getting fired after a month. people gets fired left and right all the time and sometimes it's just a personality conflict so i doubt this reflects negatively on you. Heck, lawyers get fired all the time too...
