The #1 advice you should follow if you’ve ever been fired is to be prepared for your next job interview. Most importantly, plan out your answer to the question that’s bound to come up: “Why did you leave your last position?”

Your response to that question will mean the difference between getting your next job or getting passed over.

A good tactic to follow is to somehow put the focus on yourself and use it as a moment to show that you’ve learned a valuable lesson along way. You can also ensure them that you won’t make the mistake again.
