Man... I went to school for 6 years, interned for 2, acted as a housing director for one, and finally took a prestigious job with the Governor's budget office at the Capitol... now they're telling me they may not keep me past my 6-month probationary period because they don't feel comfortable with me (it's been very socially awkward; bad chemistry or something- plus i made 2 goof-ups they can pin on me if they need an excuse). I just can't imagine getting hired if I have to explain my last employer let me go because they just didn't like me.
I have 2 months to try to make nice (and save up $ just in case it doesn't work) but it's horrifying to think I came this far only to land someplace where it's just a bad personality fit, and I lose it all. I don't have connections, I got this far just through long hard work.
What do people do when they work this long to build a career only to lose it? How can you rebuild with that bad reference and tarnish on your resume?
