Was it a recent job? and if you leave it off, what would you use to fill that 2 year gap?

>>17000666
I worked there from 2013-2014.
I didn't work any job before it other than paid internships but I've worked after it.

>>17000563
Leave it on the resume, do not use it as a reference.

>>17000691
Leave it under work history? I never used it as a reference but I have their contact number on there under where I have their information.

Bump again. Its a security company if that makes any difference.

The NEETs here won't give you any advice.

>>17000563
>there for 2 years
>fired for 1 mistake
What?

>>17000857
Sleeping was a no questions asked termination.

>>17000857

Uh, yeah, sleeping on the job usually warrants termination. As far as mistakes go that's pretty significant, you should always call in if you're not in a condition to work.

>>17000873
So do I leave it on my resume?

Recruiter here.

Leave it. A gap in in your resume is not good. Just spin your leaving in your favor. I'm sure you can figure some shit out.

Should I lie and say I quit or do I make getting fired out in my favor?

>>17000950
OK so if I'm asked I'll say that thank you! If they ask for details do you have any idea what I should say?

>>17000961
I don't think they'll ask. Just don't tell them you slept on the job.

I was just recently let go last Friday, and I don't know how I should spin it in an interview. I never got in trouble/had any marks on me. I was let go because "poor performance" according to my recruiter. I doubt this was right because I know I did good work/cleared my inventory, and got along with my supervisor and other senior staff. Was told I was doing good by them, and even will be using one of the senior staff as a reference. I'd like to ask my supervisor to use as a reference, but my recruiter said I shouldn't contact them anymore out of professionalism.

I was a contractor (temp to hire). When I was brought on they were desperate for people and were trying to fill in 6 other positions as well. The managers/higher level staff joked with me about being their guinea pig on how they'll develop their training for the new people. (Which allowed them to put together a training manual/handbook for the new staff).

id put it on. easier to omit a firing than anythign else, and if they dig up dirt and ask why just say
>i didnt really have a choice. i was scheduled for an 8 hour shift, then they doubled it 1 hour before i was supposed to leave cuz someone else called out. as you can imagine, i fell asleep. i asked to be let home but they said they couldn't.

not making it through a double shift isnt a GREAT endorsement, but knowing that you didnt have a choice makes it seem much more like their fault than your own

>>17000917

yes. frame it as a good thing.

>they insistedi work another 8 hours on top of the 8 hour shift i had just worked becuase someone called in sick. i wasn't scheduled. i was supposed to go home and sleep. I did my best for that company since they gave me no choice, but i got fired cuz I couldn't stay away a full 24 hours (implying you were already awake before the shift).

mention that it was a 'fired no aquestions asked for sleeping' deal and that you never had a problem with properly scheduled.
