Getting Fired
“Have you ever been fired from a position?”
- “Yes, I was fired early in my work career. I can’t remember
all the details since it was several years back, but I can still
remember the horrible feeling attached to being fired. I changed
my work ethic and attitude after that experience and have never
come close to being fired again.”
- “I was fired from the job before my last job.While I don’t
want to place blame, my boss was known for being demanding and
difficult to work for. I lasted longer than any of his other
assistants. But one day I made a mistake, and he blew up and
fired me. I really should have left before that time, but the
economy was tight and I was glad to have a job. It was a bad
situation from the beginning.”
- “I was fired because of a disagreement between a coworker
and me. We were both fired for unprofessional conduct. I think
it was a fair call to let us both go rather than to take sides.
We were both in the wrong. I learned from that. When there is
a disagreement now, I go out of my way to avoid it or go through
proper channels to resolve the conflict. It was a difficult
way to learn that lesson.”
