I was just fired from a job I started less than three weeks ago. How do I explain this to other employers? I know it's going to look bad that I couldn't even last a month.

Don’t put anything on your resume or applications that aren’t relevant. You can either leave that time empty on your resume, or stretch the prior employment a couple more weeks to match it. You should only show employers critical information and things that help you get the job.

Don't add it to your resume. It could just "muddy the waters". Totally unnecessary. I am so sorry that happened. Use whatever happened as a positive learning experience.

I was "let go" for things I didn't even do as a housekeeper. Turns out I was the oldest, white and non-related employee there!!

Don’t put it on your resume. And if you are absolutely are intent on putting it, you’ll have to come up with a crafty explanation why you left in such a short amount of time. Maybe that it wasn’t the right fit, or you realized your values or long term goals aren’t aligned
