I recently got fired from my first job during my probation period due to what was labeled as "unsatisfactory completion." I genuinely tried my best, but it seemed like my manager had a personal issue with me. Now, I'm in the process of applying for a new role in the same sector, and I need to include this job on my references, even though it was my only paid employment. I'm feeling stuck because I want to be honest but I also don't want to jeopardize my chances. I've heard mixed advice—some say to explain the situation to the new HR, while others suggest that not having a reference from that job might be better than having a negative one. I'm really unsure about how to navigate this situation.
