My last two roles did not end well so what is the best way to handle discussing those during interviewing? I'm finding that some interviewers are asking more detailed questions about gaps and leaving companies.
To be transparent, the oldest one, I asked to be let go as it wasn't a good situation even with receiving promotions during my three-year stint. The more recent one, I was excited about the role but realized soon after joining the company, they were using the role as a scapegoat for the company's problems.
Despite trying my best, I was let go after a year. The company restructured and merged with another organization soon after I left. A former colleague shared they were using me until the merger to make things work during the interim. My old role was never filled and I learned that three prior directors were let go before my term.
I'd appreciate your advice as I'm trying to position myself so I can be honest but not be ruled out for a new role. I'm having trouble creating a narrative that paints me in the best light. Before these roles, I didn't have job-related issues throughout my 15-year career.

intervewing for same role twice
1 year ago I interviewed for a company made it to the 4th last interview . I rescheduled the last interview 2x because I was sick but I had to suck it up and still go sick otherwise my opportunity would pass .
i ended up bombing it bc I was too sick and I could not reschedule for a third time
I applied for the same job again , do you think they will give me a second chance if I explain I was sick the first time ? I executed every interview before that

Ethnic minorities do wirk quite hard actually, and I think they are getting underestimated at times.
The statue of a slave owner was on the grounds of the first. I didn't think too much into it.

It is like 12 years that they are doing this. I was grad school, when my undergraduate boss had started to this. And after that my grad supervisors were doing this.
It is work done, that's why money is coming to it. It's a professional contract. Just misusing a psychological contract is not on. It's immoral.

Will AI Take Your Job?
Not so fast…
We’re hearing a lot of noise about AI taking over the workforce. But a recent study from MIT shows it’s not happening as fast or as broadly as we might think.
While some tasks can be automated, most aren’t cost-effective for companies to replace, yet. That gives you time to adapt, upskill, and stay ahead.
In my latest newsletter, I break down what this research means for you, how to protect your role from automation, and why human skills still matter more than ever.
? Read it here!
? Question for you: Do you feel prepared for AI’s impact on your industry?
✅ Yes, I’m adapting already
? I’m not sure where to start
? Honestly? A little nervous

My boss stepped down and I ended up crying because he was leaving .
He has been very kind and very accommodating. Do you think i may have acted unprofessional by crying?
My new manager isn't very happy with me. How can I best work with my new manager.
Thanks
