What are the consequences of getting fired in a job? Does it affect future career possibilities?
To the extent that it takes an emotional toll on you, it's not fun to be fired. That's why some people prefer to quit in such a situation.Getting fired without cause has legal consequences for the company. In nicer terms it's called being "laid off" and it comes with severance packages.Getting fired for cause (with a proof of bad performance evaluation history) is less painful for the company doing it. For the employee, it simply means you're leaving because they want you to leave. There is no "global" / "national" permanent record (unless you committed a crime). If a prospective employer calls your previous employer, the previous employer is at risk of being faulted for slander if they mention that you were fired. In the worst case, they'll say "no" to "would you hire this person again?", which can speak volumes.The area that's most difficult is coming up with good references after getting fired, because it's a somewhat visible event. There are ways around that, such as saying that you quit the company because it wasn't a fit, and you prefer that the prospective company contacts your second previous employer for references instead (it's not illegal to make a white lie about this).Sometimes simply knowing that getting fired is not the end of the world can reduce from the anxieties causing it (prevention). So know your rights: Termination is like a break-up. It's not fun. People won't be praising you anytime soon. But it's not going to really affect your next relationship; as long as you start with a fresh attitude and leave baggage behind.I've never been fired, but I've sometimes been anxious about speaking up to authorities at work. So I've researched the above by speaking with or reading material by HR professionals.
Does getting firee from my first job look bad?
When future employers call past employers, they will usually confirm dates of employment, position held, whether you were fired, and if they would rehire you. That's it. There isn't some database that maintains a "permanent record". If you were fired over a stupid mistake that reflects badly on you, then yes, you may have a significant problem in the future. If it's that you got sick and couldn't work so they fired you, it won't affect you too much. If you got fired for theft, fraud, no shows, drugs, any type of violence, or similar, it will cause problems.
Will getting fired from my job affect me from joining the Air Force?
The Recruiters don't contact employers for references, unless you were being processed for a moral waiver. But, if your job requires a Top Secret security clearance, a background investigator will be sent out to talk with people who knew you; family, friends, employers, teachers, etc. They will ask them about your character. But if everyone else says you are of good character, and only one says you were a thief, they will take into consideration the weight of all the evidence, where most people think you are a person of good character. Since the employer didn't press charges, that would also be weighed in your favor. EDIT: Okay, you are stressing over something that probably isn't even an issue to begin with. When (or if) a background investigation is done, they evaluate the whole person. There are people who have high security clearances that have bigger problems in their past than what you are having, and they still got the clearance. Look at it this way, stressing over this isn't going to change anything you are doing now. It has happened. Now you continue on with life and move on. Stressing over something you have no control over is only going to drive you crazy, and 90% of the crap we worry about never happens. So just relax. It is out of your hands now.
Does No call No show record disappear after a period of time at Target?
It's permanent. While it's not good to have a "no call no show" on your record, that doesn't mean you can't find another job. Just be honest, don't lie and take responsibility, and don't leave Target off your resume/applications. Believe me, I was fired a week ago for something I'm not proud of, and someone else has already hired me on exactly a week later! I was totally honest about the reason for my termination, and even after all of that the interviewer found me to be a "strong candidate".

What's the difference between getting laid off and getting fired?
Laid off is when you are let go from a company due to a situation not of your own fault or action - such as a company layoff, workforce reduction, a business closing. Being laid off does not imply any negative reflection on the employee's job performance, and workers who are laid off are eligible for unemployment benefits. Termination, or getting fired, is generally when you are let go from a company due to a fault or action of your own, such as violation of company policy, illegal activity, lateness, no call/no show, etc. If fired 'for cause' you are not eligible for unemployment benefits, and the employee can contest your benefits should you apply. n most states, there is an 'employment at will' policy. You can be fired for any reason at any time, same as you can quit for any reason at any time. In this situation, there is no need for the company to provide examples or prove any misconduct to terminate or fire an employee. In these circumstances, an employee if termnated should be eligible for unemployment benefits depending on the circumstances. For more information you should refer to the US Department of Labor, at http://www.dol.gov
Can being fired for theft show up on my record?
Yes I was fired for theft, yes it was wrong, I don't wanna hear it. HOWEVER... no charges were pressed, no fines (except pay for the merchandise) and no cops/being arrested. A prospective employer just called me back and said I couldn't be hired because my background check failed, but I have NEVER been arrested or in trouble with the law. Could being fired show up? Even though no charges were pressed...
