There are dozens of stories of individuals who were fired at least once before they found a career that was a true fit: J.K. Rowling, Jerry Seinfeld, Lee Iacocca, Walt Disney.
I am recently laid off and looking for work
Today’s job market is cut-throat even for long-term employees. If you recently got fired, it’s because your company no longer needed you, or they didn’t want you.
This can be a blow to the self-esteem but you’re making matters worse if you allow your dismissal to become the elephant in the room during a job interview. I coach people to confidently articulate why they were fired so that this experience doesn’t damage their careers further. Someone needs you. I teach you how to present why that’s the case.
