Well it would be easier to advise if you shared why you got fired; the reason they gave, not the reason you believe it to be.
The truth is usually a good start.
Right here.
^--- unlikely. He's likely a fucktard that falls into one of the below categories:
OP, read the above, this is what anyone immediately thinks in the absence of and often even with more information. Just keep that in mind the next time you ask a question like your original post.
Marcus, you are forcing me to put up the shitted on 'em video again..... you just keep wiping the floor with kids on WSO
I appreciate the humor. How would you approach the question if the accusation was either of the 2 cases Marcus listed?
I'm not trying to shit on anyone. Im trying to make this kid aware that the above 2 categories is what people will automatically assume absent a more compelling explanation.
Accept beforehand that you may just be done in this career, be honest, and then really make the effort to prove yourself. That's the high road.
The low road is to lie your ass off, pull it off, and then once you're back online you jump to another firm in a couple of years and you accomplished the equivalent of money laundering for your career. No one ever needs to know, and KILL whoever tries to blow up your spot.
Either way, good luck.
Whatever excuse you decide to use, just remember that brevity and simplicity is of the utmost importance. If I am a hiring manager and you are attempting to explain the reason you left your last job so abruptly and it lasts more than 30 - 40 seconds, it would arouse my suspicion.
