Got fired for fraternization. What to do now?

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I had 1.5 and years of experience in a company and after a lot of struggle I got selected in a very good company which paid good.

They sent me to Singapore, and I did something stupid. I was caught fraternizing with a coworker who, unbeknownst to me, was the team lead's GF. The team lead got very angry with me but politely said that he doesn't want me in the company. After 3 months I got fired.

Now back in my country when I look for a new job the first question is always why just leave the company in just 3 months obviously, I don't want to give the real reason. And in many companies I interviewed after wasting my 2 weeks, I had to reject the offer since they don't offer good package and ask a lot of unnecessary and non-technical questions.

How can I overcome this interview situation? I want to leave all this behind and land a new job. Is there any way out of it?

Most companies I interviewed so far either don't have money or they have trust issue with me.

Personally, I wouldn't list such a brief job experience in my resume, as it would not be much relevant and even perhaps give a bad impression or raise questions (like it is happening to you).

Now, regarding the not landing a job, you have to keep searching. Job-hunting is not usually successful at the first tries.

I would also say that if it bothers you to be asked technical questions during interviews then you could have a problem there, as in all interview processes I've been (both sides) there was almost always a part of technical questions.

Now, If it is something that bothers you, and you can't get over, I suggest you toughen up at least for the interview and "endure" those questions. Otherwise it will be quite hard to land a job, moment in which you will not have to endure more technical questions on interviews.
