What reasons can you have for leaving a job?

Question

I was finished a while ago by some place and they used some confusing words (that of course aren't neccesary)

unsatisfactory something period or something i think it was

Answer 1

Im assuming Unsatisfactory Probationary Period. Just Say you left for more money or you didnt see it as the chosen career path for you. This will lead them to ask what is your chosen career path? to which you flatter the hell out of the company that you are applying for with things like I feel that (company name) can offer the support and training needed to give me the opportunity grow within your company. Make sure you read up about the company that you are applying for so that you can impress them with your knowledge.

Answer 2

If you haven't performed well in a job they can say that. Usually you'll be set targets and told what they are and if you don't meet the targets they class it as an unsatisfactory performance. Sometimes it's because it's barely possible to meet the targets, sometimes it's because the people in charge just don't like you. Consider what you did in that job, how you can improve anything you did wrong and you should be alright in the next one.
If they finished you after a few weeks I'd think the term was "unsatisfactory probationary period".
Listen to the bosses, nod, smile, and make it look like they've made an impression on you and then go and do the job you've got to in the quickest, best way. Always remember, if you're the monkey on the bottom branch of the tree, you look up and all you can see is a load of arseholes.

Answer 3

Was it "unsatisfactory completion of the probationary period"?

If so, then I'm afraid you probably just didn't work out. Employers often use probationary periods so they can get a feel for an employee in the first couple of months without tying themselves into a long drawn-out procedure if they decide they don't like them

Answer 4

Leaving a job? or being fired. You can leave a job for any reason you wish, that is the joy of being human. You just have to live with the consequences. However, if you are fired from a job the employer can fire you at will most of the time. They always find a way to make it legal. Life is not fair and that is a fact.

Answer 5

I suspect they said "unsatisfactory probationery period". I guess you had not been in the job for long. Its a way some bad employers use to get rid of people because they cannot be bothered to invest a little time to support a person in the learning process of a new environment.

I trained for church ministry, passed my interview board and started my course, I was training to become a deacon. Part of my training was practical and the other part a college course. I worked alongside people of all ages in a parish for 2 years and in prison ministry for 5 years (particularly with life sentence prisoners) and was received very well by parishoners, prisoners and clergy, my academic standard was good and it was recommended in March 1996 that I took my studies a little further and thought about going for the priesthood in order to become a fully fledged prison chaplain, I was told I had a gift in this field.

I was excited by this, everything was going well. I had a meeting in July 96 after the end of the college term with what is effectively the Bishops "training advisor" and was re-assured that things were fine on my part but to become a prison chaplain I needed to work in a parish for a year after being ordained.

I was told their problem (not mine) was I had done such a good job in the parish I was working in that they had wanted me to stay there after ordination and had not thought of finding anywhere else. However, whilst this parish accepted women deacons they did not accept women priests, and I was now being asked to become a priest so I could hardly stay there. They knew it and I knew it.

Two months later before the beginning of the next college year, I was asked to see the Bishops training advisor again who told me that the Bishop had changed his mind and decided not to ordain me. I was told not to bother to ask why because I would not understand, it was the Bishops decision. Suddenly the last 5 years were pulled out from under me and this was the end of the road, so I requested to see the Bishop and ask him.

I got my audience with the Bishop, who greeted me with "I understand you want to see me about something". I was stunned that he was pretending he did not even know why I had come - I responded that as my vocation had ended so suddenly I felt it would be nice to know why. The Bishops answer was "This is the church of England - it is not a business and we do not have to give answers." I pressed him further - was there any area that I could brush up on that would benefit me in future life, could I work at anything to make him change his mind. The answer was "Goodness no, there is nothing wrong in your ministry and nothing wrong with your academic ability - it's just that your face doesnt fit - why dont you go ahead and take a degree and become an RE teacher - my advisors have told me not to ordain you!!" Now they were blaming each other.

Well I went ahead and finished my degree (a BA in Theology and Ministry) of this I am grateful, it taught me something about myself - I do not give up. But for a Bishop to tell someone that they cannot fullfill the vocation of a lifetime because their face does not fit is appalling and very unchristian. I found a lot of support from very senior priests and people in the Bishops organisation, even a friend of the Bishop, but no-one could find out what had happened and why he had changed his mind. All those around me who really knew me were shocked and ten years on I have learned from it but never fully got over it. I have a good management job in the health service and have been here 6 years now but at times in life I am reminded about what I could be doing and the hurt whilst it is buried, is still there.

Perhaps the only advice I can give you is to press onwards and upwards - try not to let the people that have done this get under your skin. You may not have fitted into their organisation but there will be others who will welcome you. Find the right place in life for yourself - think about what you would really like to do given the opportunity and where your talents lie, work on getting there, however slowly and prove them wrong, they may never know that you made it - but above all else - you will.

Answer 6

Had some important personal work to finish, someone old in the family was in hospital, u fell sick (usuall works when u provide a medical certificate), very unprofessional approach to work in your previous company which made you quit immediately(but dont ever talk bad of ur previous job coz that aint good). the list goes on and so i'm stopping here

Answer 7

oh, I've had and left so many jobs, don't always need a good reason, it's mostly 'cos I just get bored
your post is a bit confusing
if you want to leave just tell them you got a much better offer elsewhere and you're off to achieve your potential
if they fired you and you don't understand why they let you go then you're probably better off not being there

Answer 8

What's the question? Were you fired, or did you quit? If you are concerned about an upcoming job interview, you can always checkmark "do not contact" and where it says 'reason for leaving', write in "can discuss at interview". I hope this helped.

Answer 9

the most important one is money,the place might not be good or be far from house,the buss might not be good,bad co-workers,no intrest in the job,being offered a bettee job,bad time for work,persons parents,wife or husband might not like the job and.....

Answer 10

you can have any reason in the world for choosing to leave a job, but for being fired there are specific things you must have done. be more specific
