If you get fired or laid off, do you need to disclose that to a new employer you are interviewing with?

No. But be mindful they will do a reference check so either take them on your journey, using the advantage of you setting the narrative, or make sure your references are on the same page. IMO it’s ok to be a little coy (don’t lie, just vaguely refer to it being complicated) in your first interview but clarify the situation as you move through the rounds.

I was made redundant while interviewing for a new job (like the day before my final interview) - I just told them straight up. Took the heat out of the situation for me and gave us something to connect over (most senior leaders have been made redundant at least once in their careers).

Was the best case scenario for me; aced the interview, landed a job on much higher pay, took a nice fat redundancy check on my way out the door from the old employer.

No. But if you tell them you're actively employed, your background check will show your termination date so would be an issue there

Sure but only if you have a need to Aka u got fired over 2 months ago
