Sometimes honesty isn't the best policy. Most companies are looking for a reason NOT to hire you. Don't volunteer one for them.

These employers act like they themselves don't have mistakes. Personally and business wise. We're not robots we are humans..

Never admit u where fired. No matter what even if the guy interviewing you has been himself fired in the past he wont think YOUR reason is good

Outward:"I left as a result of disagreement with management"
Inward:"that disagreement was that my manager was letting me go and I did not agree with that decision"

I'd never say that. Terrible way to sell yourself in an interview

Tell them you were let go due to COVID-19....Simple

I agree with Dave, but one option might be to take a temporary job doing something different, then after a while, apply for a better job in your career area.

Just lie, these companies look at you as just a number so you need to look at your employer as just a number.

I once had to explain why I stopped working a certain job, and I told the truth without telling too much. I basically told them that it wasn't a good fit because of a hostile work environment where I felt unwanted and unheard without telling the interviewer exactly what happened.

Just say “the vision I have for myself was not in line with the vision for the company so I moved on”

There was a time in my life when I had two jobs. I was fired from one job, but I kept the other job. Several months later, I started looking for a second job. Interviewers asked me questions about the job that I currently had. They were not asking about the employer that I was no longer working for.

You're time is too valuable to work for anyplace that doesn't treat you with basic respect. You tell a potential employer the truth- 100% of the time. Those company and people of value will appreciate it. Those who are looking for a reason not to hire you are not worthy and so, it will never matter what you say anyway. Stay true to who you are and your experience. They are hiring humans, imperfect humans. You will bring something to them that they need. Not matter what the mistake is- SHOW THEM THAT THEY NEED YOU!
Everyone who lies in their interview gets caught eventually and that shows more about you than 5 minutes of vulnerability ever will.

I disagree. A lot of hiring managers will hear “DANGER! ABORT!” if you say you made a mistake. They will think you don’t know how to communicate and interview because everyone sugar coats things during interviews. So they’ll think you’re clueless. Instead, just say that you decided to take some time off to take care of some other priorities (clean up a property to sell, take care of an ill family member, etc.)

Unfortunately, as soon as you tell an employer that you were fired, they want nothing to do with you, which is an abusing hiring practice.

It’s a tough situation, but you gotta do the right thing

Don’t say. Hiring manager will right away assume you have no common sense and social skills to even tell him that 😂

Texas is right to hire, right to fire. So, a lot of employers won't give a reason for dismissing an employee and the employee is therefore clueless, and can't explain in an interview what the problem is...

What I do is when they tell me why did you left that job I just say for better opportunities

It REALLY depends on the company you are applying for. My buddy was in this situation and got denied a few jobs when questioned. But I think the best thing to do is own it and make a lesson out of it, and show that you have learned. The question is, how many mistakes were made and how many talks were had? Also what kind of mistake?

I've had to go through this. A key thing to do is find out if your former employer has made you not eligible for rehire. If so, this may encourage you to bring up the termination issue preemptively during interviews. A concern would be that an interested manager will likely inform their HR rep of their interest to hire this candidate. The HR rep would likely contact your former employer and discover that you are not eligible for rehire. It is best not to surprise your potential next employer.
