If you were terminated for bs reasons, how do you handle that in interviews?
If you're a recruiter, what could a candidate say to NOT get ruled out in this case?
One former colleague who tried to support me through the toxic situation suggested saying layoff because that's happening all over and what he did in a similar case--fired after a family member died.
Mine was basically due to a toxic, unsupportive workplace when a close family member was dying. As he's dead now, I'm focused on moving forward and just want to focus on my interest for each role. Without my last workplace's abusive response causing me to be ruled out.

I got a job offer from a large financial institution!
Part of me wants to celebrate and jump up and down, and then the other part of me is cautiously optimistic. The offer is contingent upon a successful background check. I have a misdemeanor back in 2009 when I was young and stupid. This misdemeanor has nothing to do with banking, theft,…

I think you should continue applying for jobs and interviewing as you are not crazy about one of the jobs and it is unclear if you will be offered the other.
If the company less interesting to you offers you a position, you should alert the other hiring manager to let him/her know that they are expecting a response in x days. (No company would expect a response on the spot; it is perfectly reasonable to take time to think about it). If they are truly…

My leader left. He had to find a place that respects his skills and dedication, not here.
I am depressed because of all the uncertainty and lack of support I am experiencing now.
How do you stay motivated and not depressed when so much is out of your control?

My gosh, stop over explaining! As others have mentioned, say it was no longer a fit, you want to take your career in a different direction, you're looking for a new opportunity. No potential employer wants to hear about all this workplace drama at your last job, or the toxic environment you are leaving. We as women tend to over explain, and apologize, and fill empty space in conversations. If your last employer was truly that traumatizing, then please give yourself the gift of therapy to help process and move on from this time in your professional career. Whatever you do, do NOT let this creep into your interview with this new organization.

"Contract ended" does not work with full time roles where you don't have contractor status.
I agree with being as brief as possible though!
