So it's been about a month that Ive been fired from my old job at Target. I've been working there for 9 months. I really liked that place. People liked me because I would always do anything people asked of me. I was hard working, dependable, and always willing to do anything to stay. I got along with everyone. There was this one guy that i really got comfortable with. I expressed my edgy and controversial humor with him. I thought he was okay with it because he would react in a joking way. He wouldn't get upset or angry, just shocked that I said it, but then smiled and laughed.
One day, my boss and HR manager told me that it was my last day at work. I instantly knew he told them. They also had other people who told them about me. They really didn't want to fire me because they liked me a lot, but corporate says no.
This isn't the first time I was warned, just a previous meeting in the past for a similar incident. About a month prior. But I didn't sign anything or receive any formal warning. Just a heads up.
Was my firing just? Any comments or advice will help #Corporation #fired #Target

Getting fired or terminated from a job can be very rough. It feels like a huge obstacle to get over, and how are you supposed to get a new job if you were fired from your last one?
The good news it’s not only possible, but TONS of people get fired and turn around to get a better job elsewhere. Here’s how:
Come to terms with it. This can be the hardest part, as you may feel like you weren’t good enough for the job. Don’t worry, you’ll be back on your feet soon enough. Take a few days to go over why it happened, and if there was a specific reason or gap in knowledge for why it happened, try to brush up on it before applying for a new position. This way, you can leverage it into a strength in an interview!
Do NOT say you were fired on a resume! This is a surefire way to get your resume thrown out. You don’t have to mention how you left the job in your resume or cover letter. Focus on your job responsibilities, any software you used, and whatever else you think would look great on your resume! You aren’t lying to them - if they really want to know, they’ll ask in an interview. Which leads us to the next part…
Explaining your termination in the interview: Be brief. Don’t go into too much detail or you may say something you shouldn’t. Don’t badmouth your previous employer or coworkers. It reflects poorly on you, and is in absolute bad form during an interview. Use phrases like “We decided to go in a different direction” and “I felt a change in my career path was best” when talking about it - then use this to segway into how ready you are for this new job and what you bring to the table. If you really did mess up and it resulted in you being fired, clearly identify what you could have done differently. Then, speak to them on how you have grown professionally from that experience.
I hope this has shed some light on how to explain being fired in an interview - if it did or if you have more questions, please comment below!!


I was hired at a restaurant to cook after a 1 week period of try outs. After being hired I had to go to an orientation to meet the owner and receive knowledge about the company. I was told by my general manager to read a poem, "My Friend William", because the owner was going to talk about it. I didn't read the poem because I thought it was asinine. I'm there to cook not read poems. There were 5 analytical questions about it. The owner at the orientation asked if I even glimpsed at it and I was honest in replying, "no". I was on a 2 week trial period to see if they wanted to keep me. Also, my co-workers keep saying how fast I am picking things up regarding the menu and are impressed. The firing had nothing to do with my work. I only got fired for not reading a poem.

I lost my job with PORSCHE 3 week s ago. They let me go with no notification. After taking care of my parents and little sister with downs syndrome for ten yrs I had just moved into my new place and what I thought was a chance to begin a life. I was going check to check. I now find myself unemployed and facing eviction , losing my car and getting my services cut off next week. Down to my last 3 dollars. I've applied everywhere and looked for assistance but it's a waiting game. Friends ? There are none . Thought I had many. I feel like I'm drowning.

In the month of June I was fired from my job. A month before they talked to me because I was part of a group chat whatsapp from my old job. I decided to share new thing without bad intentions. My mistake was that thing i shared had a personal phone number which Im not supposed to share because is private. They talked to me and I told them that I know I acted unprofessional but never with bad intentions. They never gave me a memo or nothing they said ok. Who did they know? An ex- coworker decided to send those to HR or my ex manager. She went to same interview as me but she did not got hired and I know she did it on purpose. A month after they decided to fired me because of that situation which they said I could appeal it. I wrote a letter to HR explaining why I would deserved a second opportunity and 3 days after I called them and they said they would call me back but never did. After 2 months I send them another email but again no response and this is a big recognize company. I never told them I was bullied inside, I don't want them to think I am mention it just to get them. Should I put them as a reference for others job? Should they have answered me? Should I keep trying?

Well, my contract at the cruise line company is ending today. I'm sure why but I will be talking to my manager in about a half hour. I'll keep you posted. It was a good month, i thought.
