    Were you fired from one of your jobs? Resist the temptation to lie about it or completely omit the position from your resume. Lots of talented people are let go from jobs for one reason or another, and it's best to keep your resume honest. Take some time to formulate a response to the "Why were you fired?" question, and keep your tone as positive as possible.
