There had to be a reason for him being asked to resign. I find it hard to believe that they randomly asked him to resign without going over specifics as to exactly what the issue was. The best thing he can do for himself is to be honest about it. If he goes in saying that he was approached out of the blue one day and asked to resign for no apparent reason, I highly doubt anyone is going to buy that. If he did something wrong, or failed somewhere, he needs to be honest and confess of it, and try to make it clear that he has learned from his mistakes.

I generally agree with what you are saying. Many companies are reluctant to divulge why they are releasing someone so it may be up to the individual to do some soul searching to determine the probable reason for his release. At a future interview it's a good idea to come up with a probable reason and say...they didn't tell me exactly why I was released but I did make a few mistakes during my time there and I have learned my lesson etc etc..While some companies want to release someone that doesn't fit in with them, they usually do not want to ruin his/her prospects for the future with another company and will allow them to resign. Although it's not fun to have that happen it's better than being terminated outright. Even then they don't necesarily have to offer a specific reason. Better to come up with your own own for the next interview situation. Good luck.
