Mr Flanagan, who in June left his management position at Myer on his first day on the back of an allegedly fake resume, was employed by Bendigo Health in 2011 after impressing seven members of the executive team in an interview, Melbourne Magistrates Court heard this week.

Bendigo Health human resources manager Andrea Noonan told the court Mr Flanagan was employed to the executive team between April and June of 2011, during which it was his role to oversee the hospital's redevelopment.

But Mr Flanagan was sacked seven weeks into his $180,000-a-year position over misconduct allegations.

Ms Noonan told the court Mr Flanagan and other staff went on a work trip to Brisbane, during which he spoke inappropriately about colleagues and 'almost came to blows' with one workmate.

She said the colleague made a complaint about Mr Flanagan and that the latter was sacked.

Mr Flanagan, 46, was on Tuesday committed by magistrate Jennifer Bowles to stand trial on four charges of obtaining property by deception and single counts of obtaining a financial advantage by deception, attempting to obtain property by deception and theft.

The dual Australian-American national pleaded not guilty to all charges.

It is alleged Mr Flanagan used a fake resume to land jobs at Myer, Bendigo Health, the Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE, the Australia Arab Chamber of Commerce and Industry and with fashion retailer Rivers.

Charge sheets allege he was paid about $10,000 by Bendigo Health before he left the job.

He was employed on a $400,000 salary at Myer as the group's general manager for strategic and business development, gained a $140,000 salary at the Australia Arab Chamber of Commerce and Industry and earned $20,000 as a casual lecturer at NMIT.

He is due to stand trial in August in the Melbourne County Court.
