It doesn't give the best impression if you walk into a job interview looking like you've just killed a guy with a fork. Essentially it's all about first impressions, going in with a black eye could indicate you've got a short temper, and not someone who they want working for them. Personally I'd just apologise to them when you walk in, saying, as you suggested, you got hit with a baseball or something of the sorts. If you don't tell them, they might not ask but instead assume, you don't really want to leave anything to the imagination in that situation. Essentially if you're the type of person who often gets into fights, they might make a guess by your characteristics, morel of the story is, don't get into the fights in the first place!

If Job Interviews Scare the Snot Out of You

• Tell them you where at school at a dodge ball hit your face or something. lol good luck.


• If you did everything you could to avoid the fight, and took a stand for honor, and were defending someone... I don't see a problem with the truth. Honesty is best. I'd be more apt to hire someone who was a straight shooter with me- especially if they were standing up for what's right.
  
  However, if you're a bully who picked a fight....well... good luck.
