If you're "let go" from a job, should you remove it from your resume?

Well weigh your pros and cons. I would have to include my getting fired on my last job and the circumstances because I worked for the state for over 30 years and that would be too hugh a chunk of time to not have it on my resume. If you only worked a few weeks or a couple of months I don't think I would include that unless you could explain the circumstances.

In order for me to have received my unemployment,the reasons for my termination had to be investigated. The investigation proved that my firing was unfounded and it was done by the state because,

I was a state employee. This I would explain on future resumes and employment applications.

I worked For The Department of Rehabilitation and my client had the power to hire and fire. Due to the many combinations of medications she was prescribed and their side effects she had become increasingly hostile and agitated over the years. due to the side effects. One day she was really upset and fired me. The Department reviewed my years of service and I had never even had one write up, so I can return when I find a new client. This sort of thing won't make you look bad if you include it. Over the years I have had numerous clients some died some moved out of state and some I had to leave for various reasons. but I still loved my job, so this is your personal decision.

"Two bad days" is kind of weak. Was it two bad business days and they couldn't afford to keep you on? If you were fired for that, then you are in good shape.

The questions is really about references - and do you need them from this job. If you do, you need to call and speak to them about the conditions that you were let go, and tell them it caught you very off guard. Ask for specifics of what "two bad days" means. Have a conversation to try and bring them around to what you understood needed to be done, the facts supporting your understanding, and that you are happy to move on but would appreciate their support as you look for other work. Specifically ask if they are comfortable giving a basic reference. Also let them know you hold no animosity and wish them well (even if you don't feel that way. It's called taking the high road - and it's good to do!).

Conversely, if you don't care about the reference or the job, just remove it from your resume and move on. This is especially true if you have not worked there for a long period of time.

When doing your resume you want to be honest about all aspects because if you are caught lying about it, It could cost you the job in the long run. Just be careful with what choose to leave off, if you have to include it on their you can put a note under it stating why the job didn't work out, or you didn't see eye to eye, etc... I hope this helps and good luck

Why were you let go? If it really is a dumb reason or not related to your future work, your future employer might not care. For instance, if you were a salesman and didn't sell enough and you're not going to be a salesman in the next job, then list it. If you got fired for a reason that might show you will not be good at a future good job, then leave it off.
