You’ve been fired. Now What? By Louise Garver
According to Harvey Mackay, author of Swim With the Sharks and Fired Up!, “If you’re under 30, the likelihood you’ll be fired in the next 20 years is 90%.” If you are an executive over 30 you have possibly already experienced being fired at least once. So the question here is, how do you explain that you’ve been fired? It may help you to put this situation into perspective. In many cases, the person who is interviewing you has probably had a similar experience. So relax, and be yourself. The truth of who you are and what you can do for an organization will come through in the interview if you are not being too defensive about your circumstances. Know the facts: Was your termination a true “firing” or could it be defined as a “layoff?” Were you part of a corporate downsizing or consolidating two companies? Create your response based on your particular situation. For example, if you were part of a consolidation you could respond, “Our company merged with XYS company and the new organization brought in their own executive team.” The main point here is that whatever your explanation is, you want to make sure that the interviewer understands this firing had nothing to do with your performance.
