I was laid off over a year ago, and now I'm struggling with background checks during my job search. Every application seems to ask if I was fired, and I recently had an offer revoked because of my answer. I've been reading through advice online, and it seems like many people suggest that unless I disclose it, employers won't find out about my termination. However, I'm worried about the integrity of my applications. I’ve noticed that some applications specifically ask if I was fired from my last job, which complicates things. I’m considering avoiding companies that ask that question altogether, but I’m not sure if that’s the right approach. Any tips on how to navigate this situation would be greatly appreciated.
