QUESTION 30 OF 30

Why were you fired or let go from your last job?

Being terminated does not have to be an embarrassing or shameful thing. Be open and honest with the interviewer regarding your dismissal. Be sure to let the interviewer know that you can provide positive references despite a previous termination.

"I was terminated from my last position due to my inability to relocate to the new plant that my company was opening. It was unfortunate, but I am confident that I will find the right fit again shortly. Despite my termination, I can provide you with strong work references."

"Unfortunately, I was part of the 300 layoffs that occurred after a competitor acquired our company. It was a disappointing experience to go through; however, I am excited about the opportunities that await me."
