Get a Job After You've Been Fired

Steps

When telling interviewers why you were fired, start by telling the truth. Tell people what happened and what you have learned from the experience.
Take responsibility and don't point fingers looking for other people to blame.
Keep your answer brief. Don't start rambling and tell a long story which could get you into more trouble by making you look defensive.
Use your references to defend you. If you can find several former colleagues or management-level staff who can give a reference and positively explain your departure, you'll be one step closer in your job search.

Warnings

Be prepared for losing out on some job opportunities. The reality is that some potential employers will shy away from you when they find out you were fired and the reason behind it. In some cases, you might not be able to avoid this if the employer doesn't have an open mind or if the reason you were fired was very serious.
Probably the worst thing you can do is lie during an interview when explaining why you got fired. If you've been fired and are then caught in a lie, that makes you a liar who got fired so you'll then have two strikes against you.
