Anon-E-Mouse asks about how to explain a firing in
his professional past:
Thank the PtB (Powers that Be) that I've never faced this
one. But as both a job seeker and a job filler, I would think
brief honesty is the best policy. Perhaps something along the
lines of:
"My employer and I did not agree on the basics of <whatever>.
At <his/her> suggestion, and with my agreement, I left the
company."
