		<description>I often interview prospective employees. What I am really asking when I say &quot;why did you leave your former employer&quot; is not anything about their former employer, it&#039;s &quot;Explain to me why I am not going to be firing you myself anytime soon&quot;. 

For Anita, another option might be partly what you already heard adding the &quot;and this is why it wont happen here&quot; bit. 
&quot;It was a very small office, and I needed to take some time off to resolve a health problem but once I returned I had another unexpected day I needed to take. The timing was bad and unfortunately it caused some bad feelings. What I&#039;ve learned from this is that I need to communicate better with my employer if I need to take time off, and although I have had relatively little sick time, I understand that a business relies on people to be there and I wouldnt want to let anyone down.&quot; 

That would work for me. 

personally, I think your employer was unreasonable. But, if you explain too much and try to show that the reaosn you were fired asn&#039;t reasonable, the interviewr will be thinking &quot;but that doesnt make sense. What is she not telling me?&quot; Just explain why it wont be a problem for them, and smile.</description>
