I believe all they can answer by law is to verify employment time and dates, not personality conflicts. My other advice would be to polish off the ol' resume, start shopping it around, and quit before they fire you.  You're moving on to a more management friendly environment.  You'd like to work for a place where you feel your work and skills are appreciated.  Blah blah blah.  Put a good spin on it.  If they ask you why you quit, say you felt underutilized and feel that you have a lot more to give than the previous job and are ready to dive in and get going on *foo* project/job/whatever.\n \nSpin a bad thing in a good direction!

I dropped out, went to work, got my credit , bought my stuff then had to work and pay it off and it is never ending..I wished I had not dropped out and stayed with it..as far as a Major..well that is a tuffy...You won't really know what you want until you experience more of life..all you can do is pick something and hang in until you see something that strikes your fancy..any advanced formal education is a zillion times better than none..Check out some testing to see where your interest are and then maybe pursue education leading to something you like and enjoy doing..A degree will get your foot in the door, now sell yourself, you can always go for a masters later on..It's ok to take a break but don't get bogged down in the silly, unimportant stuff..DON'T STAY AWAY FROM YOUR EDUCATION TO LONG...or you might never go back..Good Luck to you, take care and you'll find your niche!

Yes I have but after the initial despair, you need to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and work towards making the repairs to your career and or reputation.  Without knowing any specifics, if you made a mistake that resulted in your losing your job, it does seem like the world is ending.  If it isn't a mistake that resulted in an arrest, you can resume your career although it will take time and effort.  If you didn't lose your job but your reputation has suffered, I would admit you made a mistake, ask for forgiveness and work hard to repair it through always ethical dealings with your coworkers and colleagues.  Just don't despair and do the necessary work to fix your career.

I'd go with the fact of it's not a good fit for you, you feel you have no opportunity for advancement, and that you've gone as far as you think you're going to go with that company, and that you're looking for a change. \n\nGood luck!!!

Get focused.  Write down your goals and acheive them, get on the fast track to better position within the organization (let people know about your intentions).  Make a plan for success.  Talk to your supervisor or boss and ask them to challenge you more.  If you enjoyed what you do a year or so ago there is no reason why you shouldn't still enjoy it.  If you are well paid and you like your co-workers and you are able to build long term savings don't sweat it.  Enjoy it while it lasts.  \n\nIf you are still unhappy after all of this start a job search and read "What Color is My Parachute"

Look for a new job. If you don't like your lifestyle, change it. You only have one life to live. Don't you think you should be living it in the way that you want to? \n\nToo often we are led through life instead of making our own way. It can be frightening to make changes, but sometimes change is necessary to achieve the things we truly want from life.\n\nThe exception would be if you truly love what you are doing and it doesn't feel like work to you. The way to know if you are doing what you should be doing in your work is if you would do it even if you weren't being paid for it. If not, you are probably not in the right job. Look around (but don't leave your current job until you find something else.)

Don't do it!  NOTHING is worth your losing your integrity.  There are plenty of other jobs to be had out there.

Forget what other people are doing with there lives, someday it will hit them and they will have things not going for them also.\nYou have to think positive and praying helps also. Talk to a professional counselor at school, maybe you are going in the wrong career direction. Or perhaps you need to get away for the day, by yourself to just think on what you want to do with your life.

Starting looking now and attend the career fairs at your college. Ask an instructor you admire for ideas also. Also communicate w/your classmates bc you're all in the same boat.  Many colleges have career centers on the same grounds.

I hear you.  It's next to impossible to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life right off the bat when graduating from college.  The best advice I'd give is to make a list of a few careers you might want to try and talk to as many people in those professions as you can to find out what they are like.  Get your feet wet and try to intern at a company in that job.  If you like it, go for it.  If not, nothing lost.  You've done great to get your degree.  I've been in HR for 10 yrs and it's not easy, but very rewarding personally.  Good luck.

The best way to get out of this hell, is to start with small numerical and then keep going  in all directions. The baby steps you would take would ultimately lead you to a great goal. Regarding the depression part, its very expected that you would be having such problem due to your illustrious career in the past, but you dont need to think about the past and others too. I know its easier said than done, but your consistent and committed efforts will surely bear fruits.

Here is what I would do:\n\nSit down with your boss/manager and have an explicit conversation about why they don't feel comfortable with you.  Let them know you have a strong interest in keeping your job and would be willing to work hard towards keeping it.   You want to know how you can prove yourself in the two months that are left.   \n\nIf they say the decision is already made, I'd press the question of why they don't feel comfortable.  You should mention that it will be helpful for you to know so you can avoid this type of situation in future jobs.  You may also want to suggest that while this opportunity may have not been the right fit, there maybe another job at the capitol that could be.   I would emphasize the value of your experience, education and relevant capabilities and how a fresh start may be what you need.   I would ask explicitly if they would help you pursue other opportunities.  \n\nIf they focus on your screw ups, accept responsibility for your part prior to providing an excuse.   It is important that your  manager understand that you take responsibility seriously.   People screw up.  Some take responsibility. Some make excuses.  Continue to be professional regardless of their decision.   While they may not provide you a reference, you don't want to burn bridges.  I would explicitly mention that regardless of their decision, you would like to work on rebuilding your professional relationship with your manager in the time you have left.\n\nOk, let's say it doesn't work out.  Is this the end of your career?  No, I doubt it.  I have had plenty of friends who have been laid off/fired for a number of reasons.  It is a scary, insecure time but remember that you won't land your next job without confidence.  It is important that you remember and reinforce the type of value you can bring an employer.   You may think that you do not have any connections but you went to school for 6 years.   Use your alumni network to seek jobs and informational interviews at companies/entities of your interest.
