You’re Fired, Be Happy! A sentence that looks a little weird.

People are fired every day around the world, some call it “corporate downsizing”, sometimes it hits 1 person, sometimes 500 and sometimes by the thousands. George Clooney is used to do it a lot in his movie Up In The Air.

If you have seen the movie, you might not be surprised by the behavior of the fired people to the extend of committing suicide.

But if you hold your horses for a minute and take a look around you, things might look brighter.

I am not saying being fired is something you are eager to happen to you, but sometimes such hits can be an opportunity for a better start, a better job, a job you like more than the previous one.

The most important is to know what is next and what exactly you need to do to put back your life on the right track. Some people get more lost when it happens to them, some start drinking, some start fighting themselves and the people around them and start blaming every single aspect of life to be working against them and lose the focus and end up unhappy in anything they do in their life.

While the stronger behave differently, they seize the moment and take control of the game their way, move forward, get bigger and make things happen, so be that person.

And the most important is to stay focused.

When applying to a new job or position, having a nice resume is a must. It should reflect your business experience in reality, nevertheless these resumes contain some lies, some of them are acceptable white lies and some of them are huge and definitely bullshit information.

Personally when interviewing new candidates, I take into consideration part of what is written in their resumes but would concentrate more on discovering their knowledge and experience outside the papers. Most people putting useless words in their resume are spotted during their probation period and get terminated.

Every word you write in your resume will come and hunt you back if they are not correct.

So here is the story behind this blog post, we had an employee in our company in Poland, he was hired as a salesman covering a specific geographic area of the country. We have discovered that his job was not done properly and he was not visiting some of our clients point-of-sales, so he was called to the main office to discuss the issue and after that, he received a written warning about the case.

Not being able to take the pressure of the work after the warning and not being able to cope with the company general rules and regulations, he decided to quit his position and found himself another job.

Few days ago, one of his colleagues spotted his profile on a popular professional network in Poland called GoldenLine where he posted bullshit lies about his last position in our company where he is stating the fake position of “Key Account Manager” and the amazing achievements he did and how much he contributed to the success and growth of our overall business.

Maybe he will manage to fool someone interviewing him but when getting to the real side of the business, i am not sure how much can someone hide his honest and true capabilities.
