In Reply To: If there is anyone out there that has ever been terminated from a position 1)How long did it take you to find an employer willing to hire you? 2)How did you explain your termination during the interview? I have been unemployed for over 6 months and explaining why I was terminated is getting harder and harder. The real reason: my boss and I were like oil and water and the person that replaced me has since left as well-it REALLY is my boss that's the problem. My reason during the interview: I was not the right fit for the position. This explanation is obviously not working for me.
Message: I was let go Dec 01, worked part time (teaching), seasonal and temp until July 04, when I was hired by a company I'm holding my nose with. Bad management, but it pays the bills and gives me benefits. But it's like working on a plantation.
