I always put laid off, quit, or left to take above job. From all of my years in the job search game ive learned that as soon as you say or they see that you were fired you lose any and all chances of getting hired. better to lie and take your chances. besides, most places now will pretty much only tell the caller when you worked there and what wage you made when you left; they will give no performance evaluations or recommendations to hire or not.
I should have put job ended because that does not signify anything besides the job ending. I did get a nice severance package but when I asked them why are you letting me go, they said... Your watching videos and texting all the time...
Yeah want to know why GUYS because my boss who is like 1 year out of college more than I am fails to assign me projects THUS I have little to no REAL work so I am sitting there.
In hindsight an intelligent person would bypass this lame boss and go to a supervisor to ask for projects that were promised but never came.
My only concern is that it says may we use them as a reference and that they will request termination paper work/performance reviews...
I am not trying to be the next president I just want a job that makes me happy and makes me a decent living, sorry for trying to use my college degree that society deemed as super important.
Honesty will get you nowhere, especially if you were fired for a BS reason. It's always better to say you left by your own will and not allow a future employer to contact your old employer. My mom is an HR manager, and she has told me numerous times that she doesn't put a lot of weight into an individual leaving their previous employer on bad terms, as long as there isn't a pattern of it on their resume. For every bad employee that gets canned, there is a bad employer that pushes a good employee out of a job by letting them go or making them walk.
Exactly. It's hard enough to find a job these days - don't give them more reasons to treat you like a leper. Just say "job ended" or something similar.

when i put job ended years ago i was so surprised it worked
I think it's the time we live in unfortunately, everyone at my job at their phone on their desk texting. I just do it on my breaks and on lunch.
Thats considered "your time". When youre on company time they want you to be productive even if theyve not given you anything to do. Be productive. See if anyone needs help, organize things, answer the phone..."if youve got time to lean, youve got time to clean"

How? Unless they work with their feet or use the force i dont see how theyre using their hands to do their job AND text AT THE SAME TIME. Employers pay you to do your job and your job isnt to text. BTW this isnt towards you, FBJ, but rather people in general.
