Boo!
Got a Scary Career Story?
You Are Not Alone

October brings apple cider, chilly air, fall leaves and, for many, celebrations of ghosts and goblins with costumed children yelling "Trick or Treat" around the neighborhood. Yet, if you are one of the many staring down a hole in your resume, you might worry that your own professional tale is the spookiest things going this Halloween.

Don't worry, you are not alone. More than half of all employees will, at some point in their lives, get fired. It's a haunting statistic, and one that doesn't even include the many that choose to exit on their own terms before they're officially handed their pink slips. And, while getting fired might very well be the most frightening thing that's ever happened to you, it could, in fact, turn out to be the best thing that's ever happened to you if you follow a few simple, but effective, strategies.
