I can see him as a serial killer who murders his victims and then bathes the bodies with Axe Body Wash. This evidence is revealed in the forensic investigation and he becomes known among FBI profilers as the "Axe Murderer".
Mate, I would agree with you in that one sacking is usually recoverable. But you've been sacked more times than George Michael's chin. You're lucky you live in the arse end of nowhere because in a bigger town you'd get nowhere near another job with the about of firings you've had, and by now you'd be sleeping rough with a brown paper bag full of your favourite hooch.
Point is, guy-watches-lesbos stuff has been in porn since at least the 50's...further back for sure, but uptight families probably burnt the stuff.
Oh please. To be fired from a job, you have to be hired for one in the first place. Obviously a lot of people have thought I was right for the job.
I'm thinking he's more of a - mom hoses him down from a distance from time to time to at least remove the old half eaten grill cheese sandwiches from between his fat folds.
Yes.... but by the same token, they then realized you were so wrong for the job that it was better to fire you and hire someone else. It's a win in terms of gaining skills and experience, but it doesn't do much for your reputation.
Have you ever gone through the process of interviewing and hiring staff? I have....and let me tell you a CV like yours goes straight in the bin in a city like mine since there are lots of other candidates applying for the job and, frankly, I wouldn't take a second look at someone who has been fired so many times, even if it were for the position of toilet cleaner. Getting fired so many times presents a major red flag over someone's attitudes and ethics at work, and it is not a risk worth taking IMO. That is why I say it's lucky you live where you do as there are likely to be far fewer applicants of quality for a job by sheer refelction of the local population. As for "they obviously thought I was good enough", the fact is that if you are hiring someone you can only tell so much about them through a CV (or resumé) and their interviews. The make or break simply is on how they perform once they start. In your situation it is likely that there were less applicants than might otherwise be normal and therefore you got in on what merits you were able to put forth during the interview...but clearly those merits were not refelcted in your job performance, which, it seems ws under par on most occasions. Now, to be far, I do appreciate that in your defence you have said that several of those sackings were unjustified. But I am forced to wonder if this is a delusion as perhaps once or twice that could indeed be the case, but every time?
and that my dear boy is where you are incorrect. On at least three occasions (that is about half the times I've been fired) the people that fired me were DIFFERENT from the ones that hired me.
Okay, so you've got three people who were willing to give you a chance, and three people who say you're not worth keeping around. That still puts you exactly even, assuming all three people that hired you are willing to give you extremely glowing recommendations, and that they themselves are still credible characters.
Which means what? At the end of the day someone with the authority to fire you, placed in that position by the very same employer, determined that you weren't gpood enough. Surely if you were competant and there were no grounds for your sacking you'd still be in the job or filing a suit for wrongful termination/unfair dismissal?
All the jobs I've been terminated from have been within the "probationary" period where a person can be fired without cause.
Just curious--how do you differentiate between those who have been fired three times compared with those who have instead moved to higher paying/more prestigious jobs three times? Unless people are actually putting that they've been fired on their resumes...
Well, I would have thought that obvious. Those who leave for a better job resign, they don't get the sack. Well, a good interviewer asks why people left their previous employment. Plus, there are often telling signs, such as situations where the person has had lengthy gaps between employment and ended up in a job of the same or lower level. A previous emplyer who refuses to give a reference is also a telling sign. Obviously, there are those who face being laid off, and in the present climate there are plenty of inscrupulous sacked people who will claim they were made redundant and hope they don't get found out. But the point in where Dayton is concerned is that one or two sackings, or several redundancies can be gotten around, since unfortunate, and sometimes unjust things happen, but Dayton has been sacked from, I believe, at least 6 or more jobs, and when you see that quaityt from someone who is only in their forties, you begin to ask questions.
Oh, I misunderstood and thought you meant their resume got trashed even before the interview stage. Never mind! Also, I think the laws around here prevent a previous employer from evening mentioning the person got fired--the minimum they're required to do is confirm the person was employed there.
I wouldn't trash someone's resume just because they had been fired once or twice. I would trash someone's resume if they had not managed to hold down a job for more than a matter of months time after time. Yes, but in an interview you aren't asking the previous employer. You're asking the individual.
Most people are capable of passing their probationary period. You've got to suck really bad to get fired that fast.
Being fired six times and not stopping to think if maybe there's a problem with you is a remarkable achievement.
Who says I have not "stopped to think"? I spent a couple of years analyzing my actions. And I've asked persons who are at least as "disinterested" as I can find to analyze the situations as well. Part of their opinion? On at least two occasions, they said I took jobs I never should've taken in the first place because I was patently a poor fit for them for various reasons. So looked at that way, being fired was inevitable. Third occasion Fired for reasons totally beyond my control. Guy who hired me had not received actual authorization to add staff. When expected authorization was not forthcoming I was let go. Fourth occasion Fired due to complains from an inmates family after said inmate collapsed in jail and was nonresponsive. I called 9-11 and had the inmate taken to the hospital. Once in the hospital, the inmate "revived" and escaped. Inmates family was upset because they wanted him to remain incarcerated indefinitely so he could get over drug problem. You can figure out who is at fault in that one. On only one occasion could the people reviewing my background attribute my termination directly to actions or inactions by me.
Your comments suggest that if you have stopped to think you can't see anything wrong. What was your conclusion? Just about everyone here who consider the situation, who are people pretty disinterested in your personal life, see major red flags. Does that tell you anything? Which jobs were they? Why weren't you a fit? Sound like you may have had a claim in such a scenario. Oh man, that's totally brilliant. Which occasion was that?
