Q: My work environment was terrible and I wasn’t happy. Instead of leaving, I tried to make it work, and now I’ve been fired. How do I address this in an interview without looking bad?
A: It is hard enough working in a difficult environment. But being terminated after electing to stay to try and make things work is like rubbing salt in a wound. I commend you for your desire to “make it work.” But somewhere along the line and despite your efforts, things continued to go south. And as a result, you are in a less-than-optimal situation. But it’s not the end of the world. The silver lining is that this situation has provided you with an opportunity to grow and evolve as a person and a professional.
