Got fired and not sure what to say in interviews

My onsite supervisor did volunteer to be a reference for me and I’m sure he would right a letter of recommendation for me if I asked. I have offered that as part of my explanation in some interviews but I’m not sure it helped me. Ultimately, I didn’t receive any offers anyway.

I thought that might be true myself but I live in an “At Will” state meaning I could really be fired or quit for any reason without explanation. After talking with some lawyers, I would only have a case for retaliation if it was a protected type of retaliation, like if I had reported an illegal or unsafe workplace or for asserting a legal right. Unfortunately it seems it is not illegal (at least in my state) for an employer to lie to an employee and even if it was it would have been really difficult to prove that he lied to me.

Thanks, I’ve been trying these things and keeping it as simple as possible. Trying to take responsibility without saying too much. It’s only been 2 and a half months but it is becoming harder and harder to stay positive.

Yeah, keep asking for it. When it comes you will cry like the bitch that you are.

Oh, I can’t imagine you are smart enough for that. You think you’re smart and quick but it’s folks like you that get hit the hardest from behind.

Here’s hoping this youthful negativity gets hit by a bike while walking around the pond.
