So I got let go of my last job roughly a year ago, right after the three month starting period. Barista at starbucks, was late several times which basically flunked me out of the position. Right now I'm just looking for another retail job to fill up some time during the summer. Should I even bother mentioning my prior job since I was fired? Every application I've come across has:
>Have you ever been terminated from employment? If yes, please explain.
Fuck no. Pretend like it never happened, especially if you were only there for your three month trial period. It's not as though you'll be using them as a reference.
Those questions are more geared towards situations like your being fired from a 6 year career as a client manager for some big firm because you were caught giving the client a handjob in a meeting.
Don't write it down. It's not a court testimonial, it's an application. They can't force you to write down the negatives. Even in an interview you can just say nope, never been fired.
They won't find out either, these day they have a hard time catching people who fake degrees.

Groovy. Thanks guys.
I think you need to address your punctuality issues before getting another job. Otherwise, you're just going to end up fired from every place you apply to, and end up with a blank work history

There was whole mess of familial and housing problems that I don't want to get into during that period of my life. Right now there's not anything to keep me from attending work normally. I appreciate the input nonetheless.
