被解雇的原因是什么?

6. A new manager came in and cleaned house in order to bring in members of his old team. That was his right but it cleared my head to envision better opportunities elsewhere.

有个新经理来到了我们的公司，为了能够带进更多他那边的老职员，他就大量裁员了。那是他的权利，同时也让我们明白我应该去别的地方找到更好的发展。

7. Certain personal problems, which I now have solved, unfortunately upset my work life. These problems no longer exist and I'm up and running strong to exceed expectations in my new job.

我被解雇是因为某些私人问题，我现在已经解决了，但是很不幸扰乱了我的工作。但是这些问题现在已经不存在了，我已经重新站起来了，并且我会不断变强，超越新工作对我的期望。

8. I wanted my career to move in a different direction, and I guess my mental separation set up the conditions that led to my departure. But by contrast, the opportunity we're discussing seems to be made for me and I hope to eventually grow into a position of responsibility.

我想改变我的职业方向，我想是这样的思想与现实的分歧让我离开了之前的工作。但相反的是，我们现在正在谈论的机会看起来就像是为我量身定做的，我希望能够承担起一定的职业责任。

9. I usually hit it off very well with my bosses, but this case was the exception that proved my rule of good relationships. We just didn't get on well. I'm not sure why.

我和我的老板们一直都很投缘，而这个上司却是我良好关系规则运行中的特例，我们就是相处不好，我也不知道为什么。

10. My job was offshored to India. That's too bad because people familiar with my work say it is superior and fairly priced.

我负责的工作内容被外包到印度了。这太糟糕了，因为熟悉我工作的人都说我的工作非常好，工资也很合理。

11. I outlasted several downsizings but the last one included me. Sign of the times, I guess.

虽然我坚持到了最后，还是逃不过被裁的命运。我想，这是时代特征吧。

12. I was desperate for work and took the wrong job without looking around the corner. I won't make that mistake again. I'd prefer an environment that is congenial, structured and team-oriented, where my best talents can shine and make a substantial contribution.

我当时急着找工作，所以没有考察清楚就选了一个不适合我的工作。我不会再犯那样的错误了。我要选择一个和谐，有组织，有团队合作的环境，这样我才能够发挥我的长处，做出很大的贡献。

Kennedy also says, "Practice in advance what you'll say. Then keep it brief, keep it honest and keep it moving." That way, you'll get past the sticky issue of getting fired and can move on to your skills and why you're qualified for the job.

Kennedy还建议说：“提前练习一下你要说的话。保持答案简短，诚实，让面试能够进行下去”。这样，你才可以顺利度过被解雇这个最艰难的问题，然后继续讨论你的技能以及你能够胜任这个工作的原因。
