I know that getting fired is a difficult thing. But as I wrote in the post, the only answer to the question if you have been fired is "yes". Your follow-up response to the "yes" is equally important. If you were terminated because it was not a good fit, go back and evaluate that statement. What wasn't working from their perspective? Obviously things were not going well in the organization. What clues did they give you that may give you insight on how they were feeling about you and/or your performance? If this is your first time getting terminated, it will not hinder you from getting a job in the future. Especially given the short time you were employed. How you communicate what happened will determine how long you are in the job market. You are welcome to contact me so we can discuss how you may want to aticulate to a hiring manager what happened in this situation. I am currently giving away free coaching sessions.

I was just fired for "not being a good fit." I am at a loss how to handle this - for being fired for the first time ever. Please post your responses - it would be very appreciated. Also, HR people please post comments on what you regard as acceptable in your opinion or your company's rules. What does one write – I would certainly like to know.

I am 49 years old and have lost a good position and a great pension. My advice, just be more careful than I and think before you take any action ever, I will be back, my confidence is knocked, but nothing else, I made a mistake and so do lots of other people - am I appealing or considering taking legal action - you bet !! Good luck to all of you out there who have made a mistake ever, it is not one that I will ever repeat, but life goes on !
