How do you answer 'Why were you terminated from your last job' in a job interview?

Answer

Honestly


Really, as with all questions in an interview you need to be honest. As a manager who regularly hires if I sense that the person I am interviewing is trying to avoid answering something or is being dishonest with me then it will only go downhill from there. In addition if you are not honest with the interviewer, you are hired, and the truth comes out later it could be grounds for termination.
