Frequently Asked Questions about Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability

Q: HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN BEING FIRED DUE TO A WORKERS' COMP ISSUE?

A: Don't try. If asked why you left your previous employer, you should give a more generic answer like "your skills not being the right fit for your previous employers needs." Then, rather than sitting quietly waiting for the interviewer to ask what you mean, keep the flow going by explaining what your skills are that you bring to the table and how it will fit THEIR organization.  You might also ask a question to the interviewer, in en effort to keep the conversation flowing and change the direction of questioning.
