I've been fired 5 times | Lessons Learned from Experiencing Unexpected Job Loss and Terminations

Have you ever been fired? Better yet – have you ever been fired MULTIPLE times? I have. 5 times to be exact. My career and work history have been a hell of a journey since I started working at 15. While there have been many ups, there have been many downs as well. I’ve been laid off, fired, rage-quit jobs – you name it, I’ve done it or it’s happened to me. Getting fired the first three times shocked me. I was angry, hurt, and depressed. Especially because these terminations came out of the blue (thanks Illinois' at-will employment law!). By the fourth and fifth time it happened, I could take getting fired like a champ and keep it moving by landing a new job a month or two later. While getting fired so many times isn’t something I’m super proud of, I can say that going through these experiences has helped me grow as a professional and taught me some valuable career and job lessons. In this video, I share 5 key lessons I’ve learned from getting fired 5 times, the type(s) of companies I’m staying far away from going forward, and one hack I used to be able to land job interviews in less than 3 hours after getting let go from a job.
