Got laid off after 1 week of starting

It was with a PR firm. The lead IT guy needed an assistant. I didn't think there were any real problems, so this “layoff” was a surprise. He said I would reiterate some things. Like he showed me some things before and I would repeat and ask him if what I was doing was being done right. Must have happened when I was assigning a new device. IT lead wasn't sure if I could keep up when things get really busy. It's a slow time right now. He also said I didn't ask some questions at times. I did respond it shows my experience. Wasn't sure what he was expecting me to ask. He was impressed with my Programming experience and thinks I can do better than this $20/hour job. I was okay with it. I've been through plenty of interviews and many rejections. This is my 5th time being…


It was with a PR firm. The lead IT guy needed an assistant.

I didn't think there were any real problems, so this “layoff” was a surprise.

He said I would reiterate some things. Like he showed me some things before and I would repeat and ask him if what I was doing was being done right. Must have happened when I was assigning a new device.

IT lead wasn't sure if I could keep up when things get really busy. It's a slow time right now.

He also said I didn't ask some questions at times. I did respond it shows my experience. Wasn't sure what he was expecting me to ask.

He was impressed with my Programming experience and thinks I can do better than this $20/hour job. I was okay with it. I've been through plenty of interviews and many rejections. This is my 5th time being let go since college. I also quit 2 jobs this year.

Maybe there's still something wrong with me or maybe this guy was secretly impatient with me. I'll take any feedback for this.
