My biggest fear is really how to explain this in an interview. In my eyes, the guy that got fired is always behind the guy that didn’t.
Were you FIRED or simply let go? There is a difference.
Quick way to tell: are you eligible to draw unemployment?
Oh, and btw, as others have stated, don’t tell your next prospective interviewer anything they don’t specifically ask, nor need to know. Maintain as much leverage as you can.

Well you're not worthless, but you are worth less today than you were the day before you were fired.
Keep in mind everyone you've ever dated is someone else's ex. Someone in that previous relationship was fired. But, they moved on and possibly found something way better. When you look at it like that, pretty much everyone's been fired at some point.

It’s a lot more baller to can people for performance then to can people because payroll can’t be made.
The corollary to this is the we-can’t-find-goooooood-people storyline. It is a lot cooler to say this than to say you don’t have the scratch to hire someone.

Most hiring companies will only verify your dates of employment and title at your previous position. The circumstances of your departure aren’t disclosed.

quote:I’ve seen it at smaller firms. Unlike the big firms that take on fewer large jobs for bigger money, these small firms take on a ton of small jobs and ask their staff to complete these audits at a somewhat unmanageable pace. It doesn’t help that the smaller clients often have TERRIBLE accounting so in addition to performing the audit you are cleaning up their books along the way.
What type of unrealistic expectations did your boss give you? You're an auditor, can't be much. I also am an auditor
To the OP, some firms are ran much better than others. Two years isn’t a super short amount of time. Dust off your resume and get back on the horse. I know of multiple CPA firms that are looking to hire external auditors in the NOLA area.

FWIW, I am an auditor who worked for a local firm. My experience is mainly on the internal audit side of things.
You'll have a job within a week if looking to remain in public accounting and not a complete idiot. If you have CPA, you'll have multiple offers.
Now, the pay might not always be what you are looking for, but the jobs are there.
Local firms are always in dire need of anyone with experience for senior roles.

Postal Service is hiring, no experience required. We are needing RCA’s all across the country.

How hard is it to do internal.audits? Sounds like someone got careless and missed some pertinent figures.

I got fired three months after returning from a heart attack because my sales goal was not met in months I was out. On my first interview I looked the hiring manager in the eye said, " I was fired from my previous job. My previous manager and I had "creative differences" as they say in Hollywood.
I will answer any question you have and am not going to use hippa as an excuse. I answered his questions and was offered the job two days later
You must be positive and not get discouraged and you will get a job. Good luck to you.

But to answer your question. How in demand are your skills? I used to work with this dude who was opening up emails he friends would send him of porn (this was over 10 years ago). Evidently he was just looking at it as casual as one could and a female employee passed down his row of cubes. She went to her office and contacted HR.. Within 20 mins HR and his boss was at his cube escorting him out. Another guy who was friends with him told us the following week he found another job. He was a pipe designer

Bet that won't happen again.
Jokes aside although above wasn't a joke. I wish you the best in your job search. You don't need luck, you need determination and a sly tounge. Of which you don't have the latter

Don’t dog the old place, just say that after no warning (if true) your services were no longer needed there and you are moving on. Tell them what you can do to help them achieve their goals and what skill sets you have. Get some great professional and personal references in the industry lined up and go for it. Best of luck and it seems that things most of the time work out better after such a move. I’d also hit the ground running and work like crazy at any new place to prove yourself. Most importantly, do some self-evaluation and be honest with yourself and see whether there was anything you could have done better at the old place that could have helped.

Firms always downsize if they don’t think you are gonna be a future part of their firm
You’ll be fine
If you are not certified keep working on that
I was laid off early in my career when we lost a major client and survived
It’s called life

I certainly don’t plan on saying that in an interview. I get how it looks.
If they ask why you were fired say you tried your best but didn’t have the resources available to complete the high expectations/goals set. Don’t bad mouth the boss. Say you gained a lot of experience, tell them what you did accomplish and what you failed to accomplish and why. Tell them what you need to accomplish such goals if that’s expected of you at the new job. Tell them the lessons you learned and how you intend to correct any mistakes you think you made

I would not say you were fired unless they specifically ask. Just say you were looking for a change or something along those lines.

You’re looking at this completely wrong. Stop viewing it as a failure and start seeing it for what it is…. An opportunity. You now have the opportunity to find a better job with better pay at a better company with a better boss and better coworkers. Quit feeling sorry for yourself and get out there and make it happen.

If you can't find a job in today's market you may need to look in the mirror. Everyone I know could use people, just showing up on time will put you ahead of half the work force today.
