If there is anyone out there that has ever been terminated from a position and was able to get rehired in less than a year or two??
Six weeks ago, I was called into HR's office and told that they were terminating my employment due to 'Poor Performance'. They took the most minor details and truped them up into huge problems.
The real reason I believe: my boss and my new supervisor who transfered from another office were like oil and water.
I was told my employment was being terminated and didn't even have a chance to return to my desk for ANY personal belongings. I lost many itmes including: bag, cell phones, shoes, desk fan, IPOD ,etc..
There is high turnover in the company as well as this field of work (Fund Accounting & administration)
I knew from the beginning that I was not the right fit for the company or the position but I did not start looking sooner even though I saw the 'writing on the wall'. I was with the company for 16 months and 28 months at my previous job.
HR & supervisor has assured me that company policy is to only give 'dates of employment' & 'title' and they don't provide any other info or give references (also as stated in the handbook). They won't say if I was 'fired, laid off or quit' just that I was employed from X date -- Y date.
But my questions are:
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 looking for over 6 weeks and explaining why I left is getting harder and harder. When I say that my position was eliminated due to a departmental restructuring, immediately they look at me with skeptisim and act like they don't believe me at all.
This explanation is obviously not working for me.
