Hi all, hoping for some advice, preferably without a bashing please as it’s all i’ve done since last Friday.
So Friday, I was dismissed from work for what they termed gross misconduct. The misconduct was a moment of absolute stupidity and completely out of character, as in all my working life never had so much as a disciplinary until now. My company follow procedures and policies to the letter, nothing wrong that, I accept the decision even if I am extremely gutted. After 7 months of enjoyable work and excelling in performance and KPIs, I have to move on.
After a weekend of beating myself up and applying for as many jobs as possible, I have an interview on Thursday with a company in the same sector but a completely different role. They know I worked at X company, due to experience etc very eager to get me in for an interview. My dilemma is, how to phrase this, how to bring it up at interview, how best to explain.
I know I have to be honest and there is absolutely nothing to gain by lieing.
I’ve completely learnt my lesson about company policies and to make sure I blumming well read them in future.
I really want this job, for many reasons, so does anyone have any advice for me?
