You're Fired!

Statistics show that people are likely to change their jobs between eight and 12 times during their lifetime. However, most people would rather choose a job change than be forced into one.

This video helps students and job seekers avoid getting fired by teaching them about common work ethics:

• Learning new skills
• Making valuable contacts
• Building positive recommendations
• Maintaining a good professional reputation
• Having an appropriate appearance
• Being a reliable employee
• Maintaining a good attitude

You're Fired! uses vignettes to help viewers better understand how not to behave on the job. It explains the top 10 reasons that people lose their jobs—and how people can easily avoid making those mistakes. The program also features break points for discussion and has comments from employers to give viewers an idea of what employers expect from their workers.

Having a good work ethic puts people in the best position to move up in their current jobs, or obtain new and better ones. This video teaches people how to transform themselves into a desirable commodity and lay the foundation for a successful career.
