Applied to a job at Nuveen. The online application asks if you've ever been fired from a job. It's a required question so I had to answer it. Fact is I was fired from my last job so I answered yes. Should I just forget about Nuveen? Why do they even ask this anyway? I've never in my life seen this question on a job application not have I been asked this in an interview...

Should’ve said no. You probably got auto rejected because of that and there’s no way they can actually find out

Sigh. I'm often too honest. Maybe it's a test and says something about how they operate...

FWIW they asked a lots of unusual questions that seemed to indicate that maybe they have a lot of contact with the government/legal stuff. Another question was if you or a relative had ever worked for certain accounting/consulting firms. Of course one of them was that very former employer from which I got fired. It's my most recent employer and therefore the first name on my resume. It was the wrong job and I'm glad to be out of there but I did spend most of the past year there and don't feel like I can just not mention it on my resume. Luckily they asked if I'd done any auditing work at this firm and the answer was no...

Ah, my apologies. It sounds more like perf related (as unfair as it may have been). Missed the PIP part

With that said, I would consult maybe a few others in labor/employment law space, in terms of how to best phrase your last exit.

Should have just said no, unless that employer reports the reason for leaving. Most employers don't report the reason. And fired is NOT the same as laid off or counseled out, so you could have said no honestly if one of those is true for you.

Now i know for next time. Just got autorejected from one of the jobs I applied for but it was posted a while ago andv was not on their website so it's may have been filled already. We'll see about that other job (with a totally different manager)...
