I was recently let go because I gave the wrong patient a flu vaccine even though the wrong patient signed the consent form. FYI the person that was to receive the vaccine was moved to a different room and our patient board had the old room number on it. I have only had a verbal warning(not related to vaccines) and worked for the company for almost 9 years. What do I tell potential jobs on interviews? And should I feel some type of way about the situation even though I know I messed up?

In interviews, be honest but brief. Explain the situation objectively: you made a mistake, learned from it, and took steps to improve. Emphasize your long, otherwise solid track record. It’s natural to feel conflicted, but use this as a learning experience to grow and move forward.

I wouldn't offer that to new employers. Your old employer is only allowed to say if you are eligible for rehire or not. Anything more than that could open them to defamation and loss of income lawsuits. If asked why you left your previous job "It was just time to part ways and I am looking for a more challenging opportunity." Then keep going by talking about why you are interested in their particular company/unit/specialty

They probably won't ask. Just say it wasn't a good fit.

Agree that I wouldn’t offer that information to a new employer and you can always say something vague.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected.

I was so excited to get an externship summer after 2L with a small business and IP firm only to get yelled at on the phone a few times for not doing an assignment correctly. Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.
