jobs help: Would it be wise to put on a application if you were fired or terminated from your past employer? - Help.com

Probably not; why not get a freind from another ogranisation to apply for a bugus refernce and see what they get back.

Or just obliterate it from your CV, don’t let on you ever worked there. This only works if the new job is in a different town from the old one and you are sure you can’t get found out.

Were you fired for gross misconduct? If you were then it may be tricky.

It would not be wise to just write it. The question that is going to make or break you getting a new job is the reason for your termination. Did you have personality differences, or were you lazy, or stealing, habital tardy, was the person just looking for a way to find an opening for his buddy? Whatever the reason, will determine everything. If it is a block on an applicaiton form, the best way is to just put, “personal-needs to be explained in person” OR - if it was a short period of employment,just put “temporary position”. If it is a resume, and the job has nothing to do with the new job, leave it off.

I didn’t pass the state test, because I worked in a pharmacy. Even if I was to retake the test over I would not have a job. When I took the test it was on the date that I was to be terminated so I didn’t get terminated until the day after. You have a certain period of time from the time you were hired to pass the test. I was told that I had to take the test or I would be terminated. When I was employed I would constantly request training, I need more training and I just got the runaround. They would say that they would see what they could do to get me more help but nothing happened or got done about it. Working in the pharmacy it was a on the job training situation. While I was employed I would get told so many different things about getting training and this is coming from the manager and assistant manager. My hours got cut down to single digit hours per week. I went to working almost 40 hours a week to probably 4 hours a week. I was told that I would be terminated at the very last minuate so it was impossible for me to hold my position and while I was employed I didn’t receive the proper training that I was told that I was to receive. And after I was let go I had the hardest time getting the proper information that I need to be able to file for unemployment and apply for other jobs. I didn’t even know who had terminated me that’s how bad it was. And when I found out who did terminate me I proceded to know there first and last name and they straight declined and just felt like they didn’t have to tell me like it was none of my business. I went through some ish with them. But I am going to say that I have put that behind me.
