I was recently terminated from my role as a software engineer after two years at my previous company due to not meeting expectations. Now, I'm in the process of landing a new job and have been quite vague about my current employment situation, even though it's still listed on my resume. The new employer thinks I'm currently employed. I provided HR references from my previous job before the last one, where I had a good relationship and worked for three years. I'm in the final stages with HR, and they mentioned that background checks and employment verifications will be conducted. I'm worried that my lack of clarity about my termination might impact the hiring process, especially since they will likely check if I was still employed when I applied. I'm curious if these checks will just confirm my employment dates or if they will delve into the circumstances of my termination.
