What is the name of your state? OHIO
I was hired by a small employer last summer. The total number of employees at that time was only 3. As I worked there, I realized how arrogant and controlling the owners were...they had fired everyone that had ever worked for them.
Anyway, at my 120 day review, I was given rave reviews, so I thought all was well. A month later, I was mailed (to my home) a termination letter. No explanation or reason was given whatsoever. I made one call the following day to the office and the lone employee said she was told not to speak with me. I was shocked, but I was aware that the employment was "at will", so I basically wanted nothing to ever do with that place again and to move on.
I am applying for a job at the Post Office and am worried about including that previous employment on my application. I am worried about what my previous employer might say if they are called about me. At the same time, I am an honest person and don't want to leave anything off the application.
If I were to leave it off, what are the chances the Post Office (or any other prospective employer) would find it during a background check?
If I were to include it, what are the chances that the Post Office (or any other prospective employer) will call them to find out the reason for termination?
I appreciate any advice....thanks so much.
