I've known Dana for over 15 years. During her time at Kodak she worked in the worked in worldwide marketing for the Professional Division which was the second largest business at Kodak with over $2.5B in revenues. I found Dana to be highly strategic with tremendous intellect and creativity. She demonstrated outstanding leadership especially on an international basis leading several innovative marketing campaigns for critical product launches. She has an amazing work ethic with exceptional attention to detail, leading to extraordinary high quality results. It would be a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with Dana again.

Dana Manciagli, President at DM Consult, LLC answered:

First step: Get all the negativity out of your own head. Prepare to embark on a full job search and join other job-seekers who are leaving a negative situation. You do not have to disclose any or all of what happened. Don't worry about references right now, either, as you don't have an interview or offer yet!

Second step: Prepare your job search by scripting your interview answers, including the hard questions like "why did you leave your prior company?" Do a great job with your resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter, etc.

Third step: Knock them dead with your application, networking, and interviewing. Pick up my book for 9 free download templates and tools that come with my program.

You can do this! Chin up, talk positively, and focus on how you present yourself as the best person to fit their gap based on their job description.
