Why’d you get fired? Also, just breathe for a second. Get your ducks in a row and just rewrite or update your resume. Work on creating a story for the gap. I would leave the pe off my resume. I’m sure you will be able to get a new role and the market is on your side. Don’t worry too much, everything will work out.

Were you in strategy at ACN?

Ya good idea..

What do you think the real reason is of laying someone off a month in? I barely ramped up or had time to even prove myself.. has anyone heard of this type of thing

Don’t put too much thought into it. Could be all kinds of things going on from their side. Onward.
