Seeking advice for presenting myself at future job interviews after being terminated?

Hey, if you were terminated along with several others, don't worry. Tell your prospective employers the truth. Tell them that your former employer changed what they wanted from management ociates. Explain that you were let go because the company changed marketing strategies and you were on the list to be released. Your talents lie in the administrative areas. Hammer that fact home often and tell your prospective new employers that you are more methodical and office-oriented. You might just find your position more quickly. As for the salary, explain your salary requirements and negotiate your way closer to your old salary. If you can get the new company to meet you at least halfway, then you can file for "unemployment" for the difference in salary, depending on what your state's rules and regulations are. Check it out. In any situation, it wasn't your fault that the company wants another management style. People get fired for many reasons. Try to get a letter of reference from your previous employer. If they won't give you one, file for unemployment. Get them on record with the state over the reason they terminated you. They won't stand a chance if you are right and they are wrong. They must file a written response to your claim if they intend to fight paying your benefits. If they do, file an appeal. You will receive a hearing and a judgement from your state employment bureau. If you stick to your guns you will almost always win your appeal. Most companies cannot justify their actions when they are required to appear before a referee or a judge. Too often people settle for the "disqualified" notice, rather than stand up and fight for what is rightfully their benefit package.
