How to Handle a Termination
怎样处理关系的终结

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?
不幸的是，即使是我们之中最优秀的人也有被开除的可能性。即使不是你的错，你也可能会被开除。可能在你和你的主管之间存在着性格冲突。你对工作进程的设想可能不符合管理层的预想。也可能只是因为你弄砸了一件简单的事情。就这样，你被开除了。但是，你并不是孤单一人。专家估计每年至少有250，000名职员是被不法辞退的，而这还不包括因正当理由而被辞退的职员人数。不管情况如何，被开除后你该做些什么呢？你又该如何重新开始呢？

Getting Fired
被开除了

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.
首先，不要再责怪你自己了。就像我说的一样，即使是最优秀的人都有可能被辞退。不要再为此事纠结不已了。你应该做的事情是专注于接下来该怎么做，如何能找到另外一份工作。还有另外一件需要注意的事情就是，你的求职道路又多了项障碍，那就是你曾经被开除过。尽管如此，也还是有方法可以解决这样的事情的，即使你不能让其产生积极的影响，也要努力使其不产生负面影响。

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.
在你开始忙着找工作之前，先从法律的角度来考虑下你目前的状况。你是否是被合法解雇的？还是是以错误的合同终止形式？你是否可以得到失业补贴？如果你是因为做错事被解雇的话你就没资格得到失业补贴了，这种情况下就别去申请了。和当地的事业办公室联系，特别是当你对于和雇主的分道扬镳持有不同意见时。在很多不是很明确的情况下，关于解雇赔偿问题，失业办公室更倾向于帮助失业的求职者，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.
你所有的求职证件都必须是积极的。没必要在简历或求职信上表明你是被解雇的。在你的求职信中，将重点放在基本方面，确保你写清楚了申请的职位以及原因，还有为什么你有资格担任此职位。这些是你需要写在求职信中的，除非有必要否则不要提及你被解雇的情况。
