How to handle questions about getting fired?
So basically I was fired from my job at a development bank in the UK after 8 months of employment. The reason I was fired is because I applied to a different team and got accepted. Not that there’s a rule against it, but my manager got so spiteful and decided to terminate me. I was on a fixed term contract of 10 months, and she fired me just 2 months before completion which sucks doubly so because I am now unable to join the other team either.
I wrote on my CV that it’s a fixed term contract job but still I think it is a red flag to leave a job like that and will raise eyebrows. It was a middle office job but very heavy on the hard skill side, mainly valuation & modelling so it is an overall coveted one. How do I answer the question “why did you leave your job?” that’s inevitable in my next interview?
FYI this bank is freezing hiring for virtually every team except the FO.
(Idk which forum this fits in)
Say you left or your contract ended. Cause of termination won’t show up in background check.
Let’s say hypothetically they follow up by asking why my contract wasn’t extended. Should I just say it was their decision/no reason?
Slow market, low deal flow etc
They fired you because when you’re on a fixed contract you can’t leave until it’s over.
