[Unemployment tips ]:

During a job interview, if you are asked about your past unemployment experience, Can you cope with it? The common excuse on TV-"to get a better job" does not apply to everyone.

If you have been fired, you may be afraid that your past will come back to haunt you in your next job interview. after all, you want to impress a potential new employer, and lemo-them know about a major failure isn't that impressive. but getting fired is not automatically a deal breaker. failure experiences often motivate a person to succeed. Many successful professionals in the world have proved this.

So just how do you handle questions about your past? Here are a few strategies to try that might keep you on the "A list" when the interview is over.

1. plan ahead to answer the question.

Since it is expected to be a tough question, we need to prepare How to answer it in advance. The best thing you can do is to get ready to answer questions about your experience. prepare in advance by thinking about your negative work experience. Why were you fired? What did you learn from the experience? What did you do right, and what did you do wrong? Try to look at the situation objectively and from the employer's point of view, as well as your own. you are always worried about being dismissed, so you cannot answer this question calmly and objectively during the interview. Human experts can see your emotional changes.

2. Don't volunteer the information.

Although it is very important to be realistic during the interview, if you do not need to, you do not have to tell recruiters about your unemployment experience. It is acceptable-and advisable-to package the truth in a way that is most favorable to you.

For example, you can say you "left the company" or briefly mention that job and move on to your next position and what you accomplished there. keep in mind, however, that this tactic does not work in all situations. it works best if the firing was several jobs ago and you have more relevant job experience to discuss.

3. Explain the situation briefly, then focus on the positive.

If you cannot avoid this problem, you have to explain it briefly. For example: "Our company went through a great deal of change in the time that I was employed, as did my department. unfortunately, my new supervisor was in need of skills I did not possess at that time."

Once you have explained why you were let go, then it's time to move to the positive. for example: "Since that time I have continuously updated my skills to make myself a well-rounded contributor. I have taken additional computer classes, become involved with the industry's trade association, and feel that this job experience made me a better candidate in the long run."

The point is to point out what you learned in your unemployment experience. In what ways have you improved yourself. This means learning from the past, but thinking about the future.

4. Stay positive, no matter what.

You may be fired because of your boss's own problems, or because you may be hurt by a colleague. Even if you got the short end of the stick (under unfair treatment), it is your job in the interview to stay positive and professional. it is very undesirable to slander previous companies and leaders. Again, if you are asked about your former boss and have nothing good to say, bite your tongue (hold back) for a minute and focus on your work and what you learn from the situation. remember: The interview is not a time for you to blow off your bad experiences!
