How do you explain not a good fit?
If employers say someone isn't a good fit, they typically mean either their skills, interests or personality differs from what's expected for the role. Most employers use the interview process of a job search to evaluate both the qualifications and the fit of potential employees.
What does it mean when you are fired for not being a good fit?
Unlike other types of terminations, firing someone for not fitting into the culture of a workplace is usually something that isn't really within the employee's control. They didn't break a rule or commit misconduct. They simply didn't fit in and it's impacting performance. Chances are, they will fit in elsewhere.
