Never get fired from a job if you can help it. This is terrible advice. Saying stuff like "if you're good, your next employer won't care" is completely false. There are so many people looking for jobs it's insane. If you had to choose between two people who were similarly qualified but one had been fired, who would you choose? More to the point, if you're a recruiter looking at dozens of apps a day, do you think someone who was fired from their last job will go in the "contact for more info" pile or just be dismissed outright?
