I was recently let go after being placed on a performance improvement plan, and I’m trying to figure out how to best frame that in interviews.

When interviewers ask why I left and about my quota attainment, it’s tough to answer since my numbers weren’t strong. I want to be honest, but also position myself in a way that shows growth and accountability.

How have others handled this situation? What’s the best way to address it without hurting my chances?

Edit: Information I left out. The companies I’m applying for have leadership that was from my company. So odds of them texting my old company are possible. So I can’t blatantly lie about a lie about a layoff that didn’t happen.
