I have had many jobs since I left school and done many interesting and not so interesting jobs to to make ends meet. I have left jobs voluntarily and also been fired. I was disapointed when I got fired from a driving job I had when I was younger as I lost my driving licence for 12 months. What jobs have you had that you have beed fired from and why?

well my first job I was fired becuse my drawer come up short but I think that someone fixed it so that I would get fired I was like 17 then so i was new at working. I am 34 now. I have been fired from a few jobs from missing to much work even with a doctors note.

It was my first job working for an insurance company. I really tried, but just couldn't get the hang of it. I guess I was making too many mistakes. They didn't say that was the reason, they just said, they no longer needed the help. It was upsetting to say the least as it was my first job, and I really tried to do good. I look back, now and kind of chuckle. That was the only one that I can think of right now.

I have never been fired, but I have left a number of jobs, for various reasons. My husband has lost a few. I would call the problem politics. Mostly they were in nursing homes. Residents love him, families love him, but administration and nurses sometimes play games, want to give jobs to family friends, want younger employees, you name it. I would not have believed that it was not his fault, except I have been working in the same nursing homes when it has happened,and I have seen the maneuvering to get it done. I have also been told that I would never be hired by a certain admin. for anything in her nursing home except house keeping. For the record, I am CNA, CMA, Social Services Designee, and Activity Director certified. It is definitely politics.

I have had many jobs also and the only job tht I was fired from was with Coles as a lady complained about 2 cents and would you believe it that I was fired over that but it did not worry me as I was studying in the night time then to finish my secretarial course in which I did pass and then went to work in many different kinds of offices throughout Sydney. But how ridiculous being fired over 2 cents.
