It's the first time this has ever happened to me in 30 years, and it's not something I'm proud of, but I was fired from a great job that I'd held for 31 days because I was trying to help a client. As a technical support representative for an e-commerce company, I wasn't supposed to import a client's data into their store, but the client asked me to help, and when I did, I damaged his store's existing data (hence the prohibition on importing client data), and I was unfortunately yet understandably let go.
Since I had only been there a month, and I'm forced to once again job hunt, I'd like to know your opinions on what I should do next:
1. Should I include this job on my resume?
2. If so, how should I answer when asked why I only worked there one month?
I don't have it in me to lie about the company, because I was in the wrong and because the company really was a great place to work. I kick myself every day that I totally blew a great job, but I still have to find my next paycheck, regardless.
I'd appreciate any insights you could offer.
