Laid off
(English) Questions: I am a “senior” associate (8 years) who has been laid off by my firm. The partners have told me that the lay-off is not performance related. When I interview for a new position, how do I answer the question, “…why did you leave your old firm…?”
Answer: Getting laid off can be a traumatic (embarrassing) experience and not a particularly enjoyable one to revisit in interview after interview. However, the way you handle this subject can make or break an opportunity to re-launch your career on another platform. Here are some tips to guide you in preparing a response to this inevitable question that will help you move on to your next job.
