Trade Union Rep and job interview

Katie

Hi am currently working towards a level 5 CIPD (self funded)  and recently went for my first job interview for a HR role.

I currently work in a call centre but am also an active and senior trade union official.

During my job interview I told them that I was a senior rep and what this role entails but now I am concerned this is why they did not give me the job? Would people suggest I am honest about it or not tell future potential employers ?

I do not want future employers thinking negatively or not taking me on if I tell them if they think I am a "militant"

    Personally I would play it down. Unless you are using it to demonstrate a particular skill or competency I am not sure that it’s worth raising.

    It could simply be they are civcerned at amount of time this will take , more sinister motives or simply wasn’t a factor.

    But I would leave it.
