I was fired from my last job for gross misconduct due to a breach of confidentiality. When i apply for jobs in the future, what exactly happens when my new employer does a reference check on my past jobs? Will it be a basic check (position check, length of service (date check), salary check) or will it be an in depth check into the fine details as to why I was dismissed ?
