Shit, I Got Fired

"Shit, I got Fired" is a short, no B.S. guide on how to get hired after being unexpectedly fired. It is not your typical lame self-help book that leaves you passively motivated and without any real actionable steps you can take to build the bridge from fired to hired. The author speaks from experience in offering advice on what to do right away, what NOT to do immediately after being fired, and the proper strategies to follow for landing the next opportunity. The advice ranges from minute details like being sure to save your tailored resumes in different folders so you don't send the wrong one, to broader concepts like being prepared with questions at interviews. The advice is practical and straightforward, if nothing revolutionary. "Shit, I got Fired" is like a lighthouse in the dark for someone who feels lost after being suddenly fired. It offers direction, a way forward in a dark time.
