I wanted to be a theatre technicianUnfortunatly, getting fired by Welsh National Opera means nobody will employ me, so I've ended up as an admin whore as well in a printers.

Surely you could omit working there from your cv and get another job elsewhere in that field?(

I probably would be ok nowI was fired due to imcompetance by accidentally recording a show. If I done the equipment checks properly I'd have seen there was a minidisc in the recorder and removed it, as it was I didn't and the wrong person found the recording, then they went apeshit at me over copyright. I know they were just trying to scare me now, but at the time I was somewhat scared of being sued.
When applying for jobs after that I found they'd told various people what have happened, or they told theatres who called them to check my CV with them (having worked for both Welsh National Opera and Prince Charles on there makes it slightly unbelievable) which meant nobody wanted anything to do with me. Now, I'm not in a position to get any work experiance (my fault, can't drive to the places where I'll get it). Something I want to change though, so the current job is just a holding position for now...

fired by Welsh National OperaSo long as it wasn't incompetence or safety related - you should be able to brush it off.
