Since I was Terminated from my job explanation below, but how should I go about addressing it the interview???
Explanation of Termination from Pavlov Media.
When I first started this job I was excited not knowing much about the company. I did know the job was related to Information Technology. The first six months with the company were the best. My job dealt with mostly customer service but there was more to the company. I grew interest in the networking side of the company, my skills in networking weren’t the greatest, but I had a will to learn. I was taught a lot about networks from people in the company. As time grew on there were some changes made. Around January 2009 some people that had got to know and trust were leaving the company. At the company Christmas Meeting was announced that the company must make a profit this year (2009) or cut backs would happen. Before that I had learned that this company didn’t have the best reputation with its customers. I was always courteous and willing to help the customers.
The last three months with company I was looking for an out to get out of the company as products changed and I was not apt to pressure a customer into a sale, or something that they would get stuck with. I did not agree with how the company was being run at this point. I tried moving within the company into more of the networking support field, but came up short. So I started looking for other jobs. I still was a productive member of the team. I kept most of my frustrations to myself as it didn’t seem as it was going to get fixed.
I had to work the weekend leading up to the day I was fired. On Saturday I was working for the company from a remote location while helping with something else I had to help with. Everything was going smoothly, and then there was a problem with the software I was using. The software would not allow me to type in the interface. This has happened the only way to fix the problem is to restart the application this it would disconnect the customer.
When going over the weekend operations with my boss he found this question me about this and wrote me a final warning because of other errors I had made he also question me about this and I explained it to him. He said okay. Well two hours later he came and got me and took me to Human Resources and said we are terminating you. I was like for what he said for lying. Then I proceeded to ask for proof but he would not provide it. I was really upset at this point.
I filed a claim with Unemployment for wrongful termination. They investigated the claim and could not find that I had did anything wrong that would warrant termination.
Approximately, two weeks after I was let go they let four to five more people without cause. This leaves me to believe they were looking for any reason to get rid of anyone. While I am not proud of this it hurt my character and self esteem. I try to be up front and honest with just about everything I do.
