Lost my job today. They told me I didn't meet their requirements. I am so so scared I don't know what to do. I have an interview lined up already for this week but I simply am not ready to tell my family yet I really don't think I can I am too scared.

I have three excellent written references - just this one didn't work out.

What if I never get another job sad

    Be confident, you have had a knock back, it always affects your confidence.

    To be told " No you are not for us" is like someone saying" you are not perfect"

    No one is...

    You can please some of the people, some of the time, not all of the people all of the time.

    We all have ideas and faults.

    Have you thought about saying " you need a few days off work until you feel you are ready to talk about it.

    Three references are brilliant, dont knock yourself over it .

      Thank you Linda I am just going through the motions I had only one day left of my probationary period.

      My biggest fear is not getting another job.

      The jobs are out there, look for,a job that holds your interest, hopefully enjoy and brings in money.

      99% of the population are unhappy in their work place but also need to pay bills, so you carry on.
