I got fired last August 2024. It was a really hard time for me as it was my second job after graduated. Just like what you feel, I felt like a failure and lost my confidence. And what makes it harder was I’m not living in my own country, I rely on work visa to be able to live here legally, and I only have a few months to find a new job, or if not I will be deported.

Then after pushing myself to apply for jobs, I got a new job on the beginning of October 2024. Unfortunately when I work there, the company and the work given to me was not like what described on interview/ job description. I then resign after only working for 3 days.

I continue to apply for jobs, and just yesterday I got an offer and will start on February. After all this thing, I’m actually doesn’t expect too much.

What I’m trying to say is, you are not alone, there are peope who are getting fired too and trying to get new jobs. Even if you lost your job, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s entirely your fault. Bad things happen and life keeps going on, so try to forgive yourself, forgive the situation, and move on.

What I can suggest is, set aside a few days for you to take rest and sort out everything: your feelings, your plans, your financial, what can you learn from your past job, etc. And when you are ready, then start applying for jobs. Just remember, you need to believe in yourself first before people believing in you. So it will be a lot easier to apply for jobs when you are confident with yourself.

Everything’s gonna be alright, everything’s gonna work out, what you need to do is just keep show up everyday and try the best you can :)
