Joyce Lain Kennedy關於面試問題「你為什麼會被解僱」的參考答案
1. Being cut loose was a blessing in disguise. Now I have an opportunity to explore jobs that better suit my qualifications and interests. My research suggests that such an opportunity may be the one on your table. Would you like to hear more about my skills in working with new technology?

2. My competencies were not the right match for my previous employer's needs but it looks like they'd be a good fit in your organization. In addition to marketing and advertising, would skills in promotion be valued here?

3. Although circumstances caused me to leave my first job, I was very successful in school and got along well with both students and faculty. Perhaps I didn't fully understand my boss's expectations or why he released me so quickly before I had a chance to prove myself.

在考慮到我為什麼離開的原因後，我認識到我要做一些不同的事情。那份工作是一個學習的機會，而且現在我認為自己已經學聰明了。如果可以的話，我希望有機會向您證明。
6. A new manager came in and cleaned house in order to bring in members of his old team. That was his right but it cleared my head to envision better opportunities elsewhere.
有個新經理來到了我們的公司，為了能夠帶進更多他那邊的老職員，他就大量裁員了。那是他的權利，同時也讓我們明白我應該去別的地方找到更好的發展。
7. Certain personal problems, which I now have solved, unfortunately upset my work life. These problems no longer exist and I'm up and running strong to exceed expectations in my new job.
我被解僱是因為某些私人問題，我現在已經解決了，但是很不幸擾亂了我的工作。但是這些問題現在已經不存在了，我已經重新站起來了，並且我會不斷變強，超越新工作對我的期望。
8. I wanted my career to move in a different direction, and I guess my mental separation set up the conditions that led to my departure. But by contrast, the opportunity we're discussing seems to be made for me and I hope to eventually grow into a position of responsibility.
我想改變我的職業方向，我想是這樣的思想與現實的分歧讓我離開了之前的工作。但相反的是，我們現在正在談論的機會看起來就像是為我量身定做的，我希望能夠承擔起一定的職業責任。

我和我的老闆們一直都很投緣，而這個上司卻是我良好關係規則運行中的特例，我們就是相處不好，我也不知道為什麼。
10. My job was offshored to India. That's too bad because people familiar with my work say it is superior and fairly priced.

11. I outlasted several downsizings but the last one included me. Sign of the times, I guess.
雖然我堅持到了最後，還是逃不過被裁的命運。我想，這是時代特徵吧。
12. I was desperate for work and took the wrong job without looking around the corner. I won't make that mistake again. I'd prefer an environment that is congenial, structured and team-oriented, where my best talents can shine and make a substantial contribution.
我當時急著找工作，所以沒有考察清楚就選了一個不適合我的工作。我不會再犯那樣的錯誤了。我要選擇一個和諧，有組織，有團隊合作的環境，這樣我才能夠發揮我的長處，做出很大的貢獻。
Kennedy also says, "Practice in advance what you'll say. Then keep it brief, keep it honest and keep it moving." That way, you'll get past the sticky issue of getting fired and can move on to your skills and why you're qualified for the job.
Kennedy還建議說：「提前練習一下你要說的話。保持答案簡短，誠實，讓面試能夠進行下去」。這樣，你才可以順利度過被解僱這個最艱難的問題，然後繼續討論你的技能以及你能夠勝任這個工作的原因。
