职场英语：被炒鱿鱼之后怎么办？
Getting fired, unfortunately, can happen to the best of us. It can happen even when it's not your fault. There could be a personality conflict between yourself and your supervisor. Your idea of what the job was going to be like might differ from what management was thinking. You could have simply screwed up. It happens. You're not alone. Experts estimate that at least 250,000 workers are illegally or unjustly fired each year and that's not counting those that were justifiably terminated. Regardless of the circumstances, what to do if you've been fired? Where do you go from here?
不管我们有多么优秀，都可能不行的被炒鱿鱼，有时甚至不是你的错。可能是你和主管性格不合、你和管理层关于工作的理念不同、也可能只是你简单的把事情搞砸了等等，这都是常有的事儿，你并不孤独。据专家统计，每年至少有250万人遭到非法或者不公平的解雇，这些里面还不包括那些合法被炒的。不管环境如何，如果你被炒了你要怎么办呢？你要去哪呢？ Getting Fired 被炒鱿鱼
First of all, don't beat yourself up. As I said, getting fired can happen to the best of us. Don't dwell on it. Instead, focus on what you are going to do next and how you are going to find another job. Keeping in mind that another hurdle - the stigma of being fired - has just been added to your job search. That said, there are ways you can address this issue and put it in at least a neutral, if not a positive, light.
不管我们有多优秀，被炒这种事情都可能会降临到我们头上，所以不要自暴自弃，别总一天到晚想着自己被炒了，你应该做的事情是朝前走，想想下一步该做什么，怎么才能再找份工作。被炒鱿鱼的耻辱可能会成为你找工作的一大障碍，不过有很多种方法可以表达这件事，至少在说明情况的时候可以保持一种中立的色彩。
Legal Issues 法律问题
Before you begin a job search consider where you stand from a legal perspective. Was your firing legitimate or could it be considered wrongful termination? Are you eligible for unemployment benefits? If you were fired for misconduct you may not be eligible, but, don't presume that is the case. Check with your state unemployment office, especially if you have a different opinion than your employer does about how you parted ways. In many cases, if it isn't clearcut, the unemployment office will lean towards the unemployed job seeker, rather than the employer, when making a decision on unemployment compensation benefits.
在开始找工作之前要确认一下法律问题，你是被合法炒掉的还是被不正当的终结合同了呢？你够条件领失业保险吗？如果因为渎职被炒你可能拿不了失业保险，但是不要自己假定情况如何。联系一下当地的相关部门，尤其是你和雇主意见不同的时候。很多时候，如果说不清楚了，失业赔偿的仲裁通常都会偏向失业者而不是雇主。
Resumes and Cover Letters 简历和求职信
All your job search correspondence must be positive. There is no need to mention that you were fired in your resume or in your cover letters. In your cover letters, focus on the basics. Make sure your cover letters address the position you are applying for and why, and how, you are qualified for it. That's all you need to do. There is no point in bringing up the circumstances of your leaving until you have to.
所有的求职信都应该展现你积极的一面，所以没有必要在简历或求职信中提到你曾经被炒。写求职信的时候，多写写简单但是重要的东西。要确保你信里写了要申请的职位以及为什么你能胜任，这个职位你有多适合来做。这是你需要做的`全部的东西，到不得不说的时候再说就行了。
Applications 申请
When filling out job applications, don't be negative, but, do be honest and don't lie, because it will come back to haunt you. You can use language like "job ended" or "terminated" if you need to state why you are no longer working at the job. If you are specifically asked if you were fired, you need to answer yes. Lying on a job application is grounds for dismissal at any time in the future and could cost you future unemployment benefits.
当填写求职申请表的时候，不要写的太"谦虚"，但是，一定要诚实不能撒谎，因为这些东西会一直缠住你不放。如果一定要说为什么不在原单位工作了，你可以使用"job ended"或者"terminated"这样的字眼。如果被特别的问到是不是被炒了，你要老老实实的回答"是"。在申请工作的时候撒谎就意味着你将来任何时候都可能被解雇。
