Will being fired hurt my chance at a next job?
What is great about you is your honesty, especially since you are describing a problem you have. So, many people want to pretend they are perfect. What is also good is that you didn't hit a person, you were verbally abusive and you were physically violent in front of a customer, but you didn't hit anyone and that is a plus. You'll notice in your anger management classes that some of the others have had physical contact with animals and people. Check out anger management books from one of your local libraries or buy them cheaply from Amazon. Read them now. See if you can effectively address the problem prior to landing at your next job so you can have a chance at success. It hurts to be fired from a job and it can affect self-esteem. You need to go into your next job with confidence. You could fill out something like ten applications. At least one of the places will not check your past job references.
Will a DUI keep a mechanic from getting hired?
Michigan, California and Florida are in the same bar when it comes to mechanics. I'm a service manager in Michigan. I've worked for companies that have let me hire techs with DUI's and have also worked for them that haven't because of insurance. Its going to depend on the company you apply for. Obviously, if you license is in a suspended state, you can't drive cars for the company you work for because if something happens insurance won't cover it because you didn't have a license. In Michigan you lose your license for 6 months to a year with a DUI. Tough road to be on my friend. Good Luck!
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.

How does getting fired from a company affect a person's career?
Okay I can tell my story about this Question.I got fired from the company I started my career with after working for 2 years. Why I was fired is totally another story (Now I am realizing I should write an answer for that too since It is one of biggest coincidence happened with me).I was fired on the spot. Monday morning I tried to log into my mails from my phone while pooping out. It said wrong username/password. I took it casually and went to work. I was logging- in on system, it said the same. I was trying different things then my boss came to me with some notes and a notebook. He said I want to have chat with you. I was like okay let's have chat (meanwhile thinking what is wrong with my password).Entered in meeting room, He swiped out one paper and kept it on the table. Can you please sign it, I got pissed about paper formality of my company but then I noticed the title “Letter of Resignation”.It was utterly shocking moment for me. I was like in vacuum for moments before I could say anything. He spoke something about the reason then controlling my pulse i tried to explain the situation but all in vain. I cried yes I literally cried but all in vain.I understood nothing is going to work so I came into negotiation mode as it is said don’t sign a document unless you get anything. So I negotiated my notice period salary and my experience letter. Signed it and got out of building in 30 minutes.I pulled all my strings same day. Got couple of interview lined up in same week and the next week. Got two job offers by end of next week.Enjoyed one month paid leave. Joined next company next month.Coming to real question: How does it impacted my Career. It gave me many lessons for my long awaited career.Don’t take anything for granted. No matter how hard you work. Your company doesn’t love you.Always Negotiate even when situation is adverse.Don’t give up.

Does long hair really affect being hired for a job?
The true answer is: it depends on many things, there is no yes or no answer. It all depends on how long your hair is, how you take care of it, and the attitude of the employer toward long hair. Before you apply at the company, if you can, take a look at the people who work there, do they have a mix of long and short hair styles? If so, it may not matter. If all the employees have short hair, then it might. Remember, when you go into an interview, one of the key questions the interviewer is asking themself is "How well is this person going to fit into the company?", and the first thing they are going to look at is whatever stands out, if they look at you, and the first thing they see is your long hair, you may not stand a good chance of getting hired. However, you may be able to pull it off if your hair is clean and nicely styled. So, your mother isn't entirely wrong, and you aren't entirely right. If you find a company that you want to work at, and you don't know what their style attitudes are, go for conservative, cut your hair short, and go for the interview. If everything works out and you get hired, then you can let your hair grow out again.
I worked a seasonal job at Target and I was let go, released before the Christmas Rush was over?
I was seasonally employed at Target for like a month and a half, i got hired there on October 12th 2011 of last year, then I had to frustratingly wait 2 weeks for my orientation because my background check results, drug-test results got delayed, but eventually i passed both of them, i got hired, so my orientation was not until October 25th, and my first official day on the job not until the 31'st, Halloween, and my final day working there was December 17th, so i was there for like a month and a half, and Target was my first ever retail job, first ever cashier experience, and i was released, let go because it was a seasonal job only, and when Human Resources called me in for a meeting like a week or 2 before December 17th, 1 to 1 discussion with one of the managers, and he told me i was getting released, told me it is nothing personal, that it is all a Business-Decision, i was not the only seasonal employee that got released, laid off, let go, but aren't most seasonal employees employed through the second week of January? Because this is what one person told me: "It's very fishy that a seasonal employee was let go before the Christmas rush was over. Seasonal employees are hired strictly for the black Friday and Christmas shopping rushes. Only a few of our seasonal employees weren't kept on and they were let go the second week of January. There might be more behind your release than you think and I would check before including that job on your application/resume. The short time frame can also be a red flag for employers" So do you think Target's Human Resources have not been completely honest with me? could they be hiding something from me?
