I've only had 3 jobs in the last 30 years, the first two I was there a long time and was made redundant from the first and the second relocated too far for me to travel but always have good reviews. I got a new job very quickly but 3 months in and they have dismissed me in my probation period. Evidently my work is fine but they didn't think my personality fitted in with the office. To be honest I wasn't enjoying it much and I think it probably showed. I'm not sad not to be working there but I am worried about what reason for leaving I can give on new job applications as nobody would give a job to someone dismissed in their probation period. It came out of the blue and I wish they had talked to be and asked me to resign. My manager said she would give me a good reference but does she have to give a reason I left. Would it be reasonable to ask her to put something different.
