a lot of confidence in being successful in the next job and what to do about it if the person doesn't have a lot of confidence in being successful in the next job?? What if you can't forget the failures and they are always on the back of your mind and so sometimes they can come in to cause you not to be able to do well in your new job?
Because there is a gap between getting fired from all your jobs and being successful in your jobs. How do you get over that gap and start doing well in your job and what if you still have those failures in the back of your mind... ?

If your failing that much its either....
Your lazy in which case get off your *** and start working it off instead.
Your in stupid and is in a job that you don't have enough education to do in which case I wonder how you got hired.
You just simply have had jobs that haven't worked out for you.
How to start over....
PUSH ON AND KEEP GOING.

It depends a lot on the person's character, personality, intelligence and level of education. If you've done a job to the best of your ability, and you get fired, there can be any number of reasons why you were let go. Maybe the company was downsizing or maybe you did your job, but wasn't out to win a popularity contest amongst your co-workers, or maybe you weren't a brown-noser, or maybe you were better educated then your boss and it was threatening to him, or maybe you remind your boss of their ex-wife or ex-husband. My point is that as long as you know you did your job to the best of your ability, why beat your self up over it? It wasn't a good fit. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that you got fired.
Sure it feels lousy to get fired. But you have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back in the saddle. So what if you don't succeed at a string of lousy jobs? You have to push on...and believe in yourself. I think that over time, the "failures that you have in the back of your mind," won't seem as daunting. In fact, you may find yourself laughing at some of the experiences you've had in the job market. Maybe even write a story about your experience in a humorous way. So you have some bad breaks in the job market that have hurt your confidence, so have a lot of people. If you know that you performed a job to the best of your ability, what is there to feel bad about? Good Luck. Merry Christmas!

Redneck version; I'd just pull the pickup keys outta my pocket and drive off. So what, its cheaper to fire you than deal with the situation. Those bosses have no intention of letting you live the way they do. We're men, fend for yourself. I made a career out of jobs that wanted to get rid of me. When the smoke cleared, I had more experience and respect than the management did. Their credibility isn't absolute-they just pick favorites, and not from ability either. They pick their drinkin' buddies. 10-4?

Its ok to have a bad experience as you grow and develop your skills.
4 in a row would indicate that there is something else going on, like..
Lack of commitment
Lazy
Bad attitude.
A normal healthy reaction to failure is to learn from it and move on.
I was 33 years in IBM and believe me, I had my share of ups and downs. Every time that I screwed up, it scared the absolute crap out of me.
That threat to my family, lifestyle, certainly worked for me.
Maybe, you don't need the work and have independent means, like living for free with your parents.
I never had that. I was on my own income from 18, no safety net for me.
Sorry if I'm going overboard, just trying to get through to you.

I'll bet you guys are all too young to remember Sparky Anderson. He was a major league baseball coach. Fired what? Eleven times? The joke was, he was a "Big Gun" in the industry. He kept getting fired.
