Should I leave out this job reference?

Ya I would add it need 10 years of work history unless your to young; just don't put why you left, if asked (wasn't my life style of work,,, which would be true, you smoked they didn't).

 

just list the one job because it shows you were working during that time. What they are looking for is time gaps between jobs to see if you were off in Aphganistan training with the Tallywackerban.

 

I wouldnt even claim that on taxes, yes I'd leave it off. I used to hold down two jobs, one was permanent and one was seasonal. Every year it was a different seasonal job, when the time came they slowed up and there were no shifts I was out, just wouldn't go back the two weeks later I was scheduled for one shift.

As long as you have one steady job your good. Also leave it out simply for the reason you were fired, no need to poke that hornet nest.

 

Yeah don't even list that job on future applications. Wasn't a driving job anyway so no truck job is going to go digging around for it. I would however have paid taxes on it at the end of the year. If there was a W2 the IRS knew about it.

 

Also, some companies use www.theworknumber.com and if they sent in that information it will come up.

I would never advocate lying or telling on yourself... A happy medium would look like this:

"I worked at ABC company for a week. This was long enough to know it wasn't a good fit and we parted ways. It taught me to make greater efforts upfront to make sure my employment story is consistent. This is why I selected your company. I found that you A thing, B thing, and C thing and feel that your company is an EXCEPTIONALLY good fit. I look forward to working with your company in the future."

 

It never happened
I don't even remember your post.

 

The op has to claim the income on his taxes, as the employer has filed those wages with the IRS with the w2 form. No need to add a tax problem with the IRS to your problems.

 

Case closed !

Good luck G
