I was fired in January for reporting malpractice within my work place. I was supposed to be protected by the whistle blower act but I clearly was not. Thankfully I ended up finding another job about an hour away and started within a month of my termination. Now here I am 4 months later & I have once again been terminated. I did nothing wrong but instead keep landing POS jobs. I am terrified that this is going to stop me from finding a good job. What can I do to prove my worth & potential?

I would leave that job off of your resume and say that you took a sabbatical to recover from the betrayal of your old company after you did the right thing and reported the malpractice.

I would agree with EA1 here, leave the last one off. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this at companies. I was in a similar situation once and I just remember how unfair it felt. Something better is up ahead for you and this will all be something in the past very soon!

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
