Hmmm. Well, for starters I think an honest self-assessment would be good. If you feel that your previous employer was an otherwise fair person/company, then you might need to ask yourself:

* WAS I a good employee? Was I reliable, did I always show up on time and do what I said I was going to do? Did I accept constructive criticism graciously? Did I meet my performance goals? Was I polite? Did I get along well with co-workers and managers? Do I offer to help people or pitch in when things are busy?

* "something stupid and unethical" sounds pretty significant, especially if it was serious enough to fire "an otherwise great employee", so I wouldn't downplay that to yourself. Don't beat yourself up about it, but... be honest with yourself and try to unpack HOW it happened, WHY you thought it was a good idea at the time, and what steps you're taking to make sure you don't make that mistake again. If an employer asks why you were let go from your previous position, I'd keep the explanation to a minimum, but don't lie or try to minimize what happened because if you get caught misrepresenting what happened, it will look very bad for you.

* What makes me bad at making friends or maintaining relationships? Can I work on that?


The last one seems like it's unrelated, but eh, it could be. Making friends is one skillset and it's VERY relevant to how you present yourself and how you interact with people, which in turn is relevant to your job since most jobs require human interaction. Maintaining relationships is another, arguably more challenging skillset because successful relationships require work and a lot of the same qualities that make a person a good employee.

Good luck, nonny!

Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

Tbh I don't think I'd describe them as fair. So that makes sorting through my feelings less than straightforward.
