If you have been fired from a job How do I answer the question "why did you leave your previous job" |
When I was fired I was told it was for business reasons and on my reconrd of employment it states without just cause. Everything I have read about how to approach the question when you fired states put a good spin on it and say that you have learned from your mistakes.Yet I am not sure why. Please help for next interview If you are terminated without cause you are entitled to unemployment - it is a lay off or you were let go or any other soft term. If you are fired it has a harsher sound - the past employer can not say you were fired for stealing if you were not prosecuted or if you did not give a written confession - with out that it is just an accusation and it would be slander. Just say your former employer no longer needed your services. Maybe you were a bad fit with the other employees or with the boss - that is OK - we all have our own place where we work best. I'm guessing you have some idea why you were let go. Lazy? Gossipy? Late? Sick call ins? Rude? We let one employee go because he argued all the time - the boss told him that and he said "I do not". Really! Just put "personal reasons" in that spot...if they ask and you feel like discussing it then do, but more than likely they won't ask If you were fired in the past, there must have been a problem. The company is afraid that the same problem will resurface while you are in its employ. Do not reveal any negative situations unless directly asked. If you must explain a negative situation, keep it brief and blame-free. Emphasize how you have learned from the situation and emphasize that the same problem will not reoccur. If you simply had a troublesome relationship with a former boss or co-workers but were not fired, there is no need to share these negative details in an interview. Peace and blessings! |
