Take heart everyone messes up once in a while, it does not necessarily mean you can't get another admin secretarial job.

Do take time to think honestly about the why you were fired from your admin secretarial job?

Is your personality even suited to the role you want to do? Or is it pulling you too far away from who you really are?
This can be a major source of unhappiness and can cause you to struggle to do your admin secretarial job well.

Take time to evaluate your career direction as a whole and think about where you want to be and how to get there.

You should believe that every company is different and has priorities and working practices that can be very diverse. It could be a case of "one mans cast off is another mans treasure", your admin skills could be just what the next company are looking for.

One of the most common reasons for getting fired is failure to hit a certain target or expectation, be aware that there are a number of reasons that this also might not be your fault.

• Unrealistic expectations.
• Change in expectations.
• Change in Company direction.
• Product or service is not ready.
• External market factors that make the company as a whole underperform.
• So do try hard not to blame yourself for these and look at the big picture as a whole.

If you don't have a great reason for a career gap because you were fired:

• Try to give a mutual reason for why you left
• Try to highlight the positives of your admin secretarial job.
• Try to get a personal reference from some-one you knew well within the company.
• Always be aware that with secretarial jobs there are easy ways for your new employer to find out why you really got fired.

Be pragmatic, positive and upbeat. Highlight the positives of the decision and how you embrace it.

Wherever possible avoid blame shifting. It might be tempting for you to paint your old company in a bad light for letting you go, but avoid this. Much of the time it was not their preferred choice, but a business decision. Most hiring managers will understand that and will probably have had to make the same choices in the past themselves. So avoid badmouthing your old company, it's bad.

Overcome the obstacle.

Your biggest problem finding a new admin secretarial job is not the reason you got sacked. Its you. Getting sacked gives your confidence a huge kick. If you allow it to. Here's the key. It's down to you. Lay down and accept your fate or pick yourself up again and be super positive, every day. Have the supreme self belief that you are capable and can do a great job. The biggest ingredient to getting your new admin secretarial job is CONFIDENCE, I must stress that.
