How should I explain why I got fired from my last job in an interview?

"The only time it looked good was when I used only my employment history from 2013 to now, and explain I left my job to prepare for college. Although it sounds good on and is true...." If it sounds good and it's true, they don't need to know the rest. As long as you're not lying, it's okay to be creative with the truth. If you go around telling potential employers that you got fired for messing stuff up and not showing up to work, well, that's exactly what they don't want. Gloss over those bits. As to the six month gaps, I've found that only putting the year on my resume covers that up and makes employers less likely to ask, even if I have to put the actual dates on an application. Tell them what they have to know--it's not like they're going to tell you all of the horrible things about them in the interview, either. (That said, if you have like a felony or anything make sure to disclose that on your application because you can get fired for not letting them know.)

You lie lol VERY few jobs actually call your old work to ask about you. Just say you left to better yourself and look for a better company to work for. If you feel bad about lying then just put the most posotive spin you possibly can on the story. Make it seem like it was a misunderstanding or something. Good Luck.

I'd say stick with the good parts, Ive omitted a few jobs from my history because it was either only for a few weeks and I just walked out or that I just really hated my boss and they hated me so I couldn't use them as a reference. Good luck!

If that's the truth, you're going to have to come up with another story. Focus on the positive and for the one you're fired from, say it didn't work out. Or, don't even mentioned you worked there.

just tell the truth
