Find a business that has recently shut down and list that you were a manager there.

I did that when the RadioShack in my town closed down and got a $16/hr assistant manager job with zero experience.

It's really a sticky situation here... what kind of job was it? Why DID you get fired? Did you learn anything?

Honestly, as someone who has hired nearly 100 people in a lot of different kinds of jobs, I don't care if you were unemployed or got fired, as long as you understand why and learned from the latter.

Learning is important, though. If you just say "naw fuck it dawg that place was lame," I'll never consider you. If the gap of unemployment to being hired wasn't all that long, I think it's also reasonable to say you have been looking for a job since you graduated.

Good luck!

It's a pretty niche field, it might be hard to fake.

It's science related, requires education, laboratory work. It was partially my fault, but it was a bad company, the management was terrible and constantly tried to blame things on me, and were looking for a reason long before to let me go. I made one mistake and they used that to get rid of me. But I've been told not to say things like that in an interview because it's bad to blame the employer, even though it was at least partially their fault. I've had a couple interviews already and I give the whole monologue about how I've learned from it, etc. But I still feel like at the end result is they stop considering me.
That's why I think it might be better to just say I didn't work there at all. I feel a gap looks better than a termination, that I'll then have to explain.

If lying is your thing, you can always play the "I just felt that I needed to transition into another job/company" or they were having cutbacks

Don't mention it. I've gotten fired for bad shit and it hasn't caught up to me.
