Is there a way to find out if your former employer have put you on any industry wide blacklist? First off, is there such a thing like “industry-wide blacklist”?
The reason I ask this is because I have applied over 200+ jobs in my field with just handful actual face to face interviews where the employer initially showed interest in hiring me but later simply vanished. In one instant I was told I was selected, had a few emails back & forth regarding hiring process. I asked for offer letter, which the manager initially said will not be an issue. But after that he completely ghosted me, not answering my emails or phone calls.
The second reason for me asking this is, one of my former employer owes me money that was supposed to be paid out over a period of time after I left. They have failed to make any payments, and in my email conversation with them, they sarcastically remarked twice “hope you are enjoying your new job”. Now I am actively applying for job for more than a year without any success.
I am in the state of texas, and I have read this maybe legal. But how do you find out for sure if someone is actually sabotaging you?
PS: I don't do drugs or have any criminal record. I have 10 yrs work experience and am an university graduate.
