I was fired from my last job of 5 years. The one before that, that I had had for 15 years, I quit.
I'm a computer programmer of sorts, and my resume and experience looked good on paper. But, they would always ask why I left my last job. AA tells me to be honest, so I had to say they let me go. Also, my last DUI and Public Intox would show on my background check.
It took 7 months for me to find work.
