Lie about termination?

[Anonymous No.50099455]

I was recently terminated from my credit analyst position at a community bank last month. I'm a 23 year old recent grad with a bachelors in finance. I was working a full-time analyst job while a full-time student and was fired. Without too much detail, I can make a very fair arguement as to how the termination was wrongful, however needless to say that won't look good on interviews.

Should I just lie and say I quit? If anyone here works in hr or knows anything about the hiring managers for banks/firms this would be a great help.

if your termination was wrongful, sue

otherwise, kneepads

why would you ever tell someone you got fired from your previous job just say you were looking for better pay dont say the word "quit" unless the HR roasty really presses you on the issue

Why the fuck would you do this?
Former employers are only able to verify you worked there.
Titles, reasons for leaving, etc. are not disclosed.

I am not sure if you're just dense, but a random HR bimbo who has been there for 6 months is not going to be able to divulge much about your departure from the company. People are literal numbers to corporations and companies, especially after you are gone, as well as those you worked with at said company.

Don't say you were fired, say you were laid off due to downsizing.
Apply for unemployment since you weren't at fault.
If they see you were approved for unemployment it validates you weren't at fault anyway.

if one had a gap on their resume how viable is it to explain its due to treating a family member with cancer?

HR departments in big companies within banking tend to talk to one another almost daily because there are so many employees jumping back and forth between different companies.

Someone calls them with OPs name. They input his name in the system and his file comes up. It takes them 10 seconds to see that he was fired and the reason. And depending on how good of a relationhip they have with the other person on the phone, might reveal all of it

As someone who has actually called about hiring people from last job my only two questions that I ask and that I'm even allowed to ask are

Did this person work there, and would you hire them again

>Off the record

No one is going to risk an L&I lawsuit over asking questions

I wouldn't take advice from someone who can't capitalize letters to their fucking sentences. You're either a zoomer with zero experience or another brainless HR zombie.

Unless you're applying for staff manager positions, references don't mean shit. All that matters is the experience. As far as anyone's concerned you're *still* working there and are looking for the next career step. If you're applying for a similar role then just say that your *current* employer does not offer much room for career growth (say things like 'bottleneck', limited geographic presence, etc.) Don't post anything on social about betting fired, and keep the LinkedIn clean.
The only thing it doesn't work for is for jobs with specific requirements. It's a lot harder to bullshit the interviews if you made up your work history and have no fucking clue what you're doing kek

>two department leaders/hiring managers from competing companies in the same industry bump into each other at a networking event, trade show, client's office, etc.
>"hey Bob, we got a resume from John Smith, he worked with you guys for a few years"
>"oh yeah Mike, John is a complete faggot and was a horrible employee. shitty project manager, creeped out the female sales reps, had anime websites on his laptop search history. don't hire that retard"
this happens all the time, i literally watched this kind of conversation unfold in person once.

Say you're still with them but looking for more opportunity to grow. I've been fired from like 2/4 post college jobs so far and I learned to stop saying im currently unemployed

Literally just lie it's that easy

Yeah, sure, listen to this lying loser who can't hold a job.

If you lack the character to be in the business, they will know and not hire or fire you again.

Shoot straight, long term best strategy.
