Host: If I was fired from my last job, how do I deal with this in my resume?

Louise Kursmark: Good answer, I mean good question and a short answer you don't deal with it in a resume. You don't explain getting fired in the resume, you don't mention it, you indicate that you are no longer working there and you talk about what you did accomplish in that time frame. You will need to be prepared to discuss in the interview, we will talk about that when we get to the interview section.
