Bad Employment Reference

RLouisewaters · #1 Sep 16, 2009, 02:44 AM

Please could you let me know if I have to include my last employment on my resume.

I was dismissed from this job and fear that a reference from this company will prevent me from securing a new position.

I was in this job for around 16 months and had been with my previous employer for over 18 years.

Please could you advise me as I need to start job hunting and this is causing me concern.

Many thanks

As long as you dont want to explain the unemployment gap, no, you dont have to include anything on your resume you dont want to. It isnt the law. It is up to you.
