Fired today

Question

I was fired today, but interviewing and in last step interviews with other companies.

I was actually going to leave anyways, but its just schocking anyways.

Is there a scenario where its worth telling the other companies that I was fired?

Accepted Answer

Don't. It's gonna backfire. I believe in transparency but you can't be transparent with companies. They don't wanna hear that you were fired. No matter what. Keep that job on your resume and interview as is.

Answer

I got my current job (love it, complain about it sure, but love it) while I was unemployed for a month. DON"T SAY SHIT is my advice to you sir. Honesty on all the other aspects. Dress like you just came from work and act like you have work meetings to get to if your potential job stuff goes long.

Answer

I don’t think you need to disclose that to a potential employer.  If you weren’t at the company long, I may not even include it on your resume.  If you were there for a while, I’d include it on your resume as too long of a gap in employment is a red flag.  Most people I know that have been fired simply explain that their past role wasn’t a good fit.  You can explain this in a positive way.

Answer

Can`t think of any, but curios to see if any of the other savages here come up with one? :)

Answer

If you're in the final stages it seems irrelevant. Just keep going through the process and get that offer.

Answer

Here is how you address this situation:

Answer

Transparency will open scrutiny and potentially scuttle your opportunities. Don’t do it b

Answer

Why do you want to do that? I cannot think of any scenario unless the recruiter knows about the company level lay offs and they ask if I was a part of it

Answer

Nope. Why the hell dude?

Answer

You get a nice sevy package?

Answer

hmm yeah i cant think of a reason to bring it up unless you are asked.

Answer

Never tell anyone that. Just hurts you. Unless they ask or if you have an offer you can say “I think my current company found out I am interviewing.” That way you are covered either way.

Answer

Did they give you a severance package? It may be a blessing in disguise.

Answer

Even if it’s expected, it’s still a kick in the nuts.

Answer

For reinforcement of the above. Nope. Don't do it.

Answer

You're in final stages of interviews? Good for you.

Answer

If you were fired, yoy still have a month or two weeks when you're employed? So I wouldn't tell.
