Getting Fired

mosesbotbol · 09-15-2015, 04:48 AM

Been a contractor for 20 years, so jobs coming and going has been a constant. Make sure your resume is up to date and posted on relevant job boards. Update the resume every other day and spend a few hours daily applying to new jobs.

Do you hope to stay in the same field or do something different? Do as much exercise as you can since you have time and get up early every day. The longer you are unemployed, the less you'll be able to accomplish during the day. You'll be amazed how lazy you can become in a matter of a few weeks.

See the firing as an opportunity for new job and more money. Good luck

And the reason for your most recent separation will be brought up in every interview. Be prepared to put it in as positive terms as possible.

Good luck.
Things happen for a reason.
I was fired at 23, just a few months before my planned wedding.
Turned out to be the best favor anyone ever did for me.
I hated that career path but was too blind to see I should have abandoned it.
Landed a career job after that and have been employed by the same company for 33 years now.
Again, things happen for a reason, just need to make the best out of it.
