The interviewer asks this question to see if you were fired from a job and, if so, the circumstances surrounding the termination. They want to determine if you have been fired if it was for a reason that they could overlook as a candidate. You want to be honest as the interviewer will contact your previous employers for a reference. Describe the cause and what you learned from the experience if you were fired.

"Yes, I was fired from a job two years ago for attendance issues. I went through a divorce and custody battle and missed work to go to court hearings. I asked my supervisor for permission to take personal leave, and it was denied. I called in sick on my court days and was fired for misusing sick leave. I had no choice, or I would lose my custody case. Since then, I have resolved my custody issues and have not had a problem with my work attendance. If you choose to hire me, using inappropriate sick leave will not be an issue."
