Dear Nairalanders,

I will like seek your counsel on something.

I was recently dismissed from my company.

Some friends have advised that I delete everything about this company from my cv. If I follow their counsel, my cv will almost look bare.

Please advise me on what to do.

Best Regards.

Mods, please help me do the needful.

Simply remove the company you were dismissed on your work experience, it's better you start from the beginning than spoil your image that is if you intend working in a reputable company that verifies every bit of your data...simple

Why were you dismissed? This forms the basis for your decision. ..

Op it all depend on yr faith, every tin about getting a job is btw u God.
I was also dismiss frm my place of work because of reason ABC, i never remove the company name frm my CV because i wil nt allow my one year experience to waste, after staying home for 2 month God answer my prayer i was called for and interview i went, the second question i was ask y did u leave yr formal working i went silent for few mint and i explain every tin to them, they move to the next question after five question they said they wil get back to me and i left three days later i was called, has am talking to u now hv started traning with them by nextweek i wil start fully and get my employment letter.

In few weeks i wil share my story here jst hv faith and pray.

depends on d reason behind ur dismissal. if its as a result of a serious misconduct (like theft), then dont include it in ur cv.

By the word 'summary dismissal', it is clear that you have committed a grave offence which if revealed might deny you of any further job if reference is sought for. So, I hereby implore you not to relate your past experience in the coy with your present CV.

However, if it is a termination of appointment and your previous company take such decision in relation to huge financial problem/inflow/indebtedness which results in down-sizing, it can be included in your CV as the termination of your appointment is neither related to your job performance nor grave offence you have committed.

Wishing you goodluck under Buhari's administration

It's a dicey situation and logic needs to be applied here. One way to do it would be to include the company name and address but exclude phone numbers. That way it would be a little less easy for the company to contact your former employer.

Press a RESET button on your CV, very simple.

Why were u dismissed

Bro you laboured 4 them 4 that duration so the work experience is ur right. Most companies tend to be more cautious with people with huge gaps in their cv. As long as the reason for them letting you go is not criminal then just add it nd have faith

@Gotocafe.

If your dismissal is not because of theft or fighting, please add that experience and look for an excuse to back it up, when they see your job end date. You can even say because of family relocation to another state.

Good luck in your future endeavours(job hunt)

There is no need for deleting your working experience. But if I may ask, what is the reason for your dismissal? Employers will be more interested in the reason you were dismissed. They can even carry out some underground checks to confirm the reason you gave them. So, while working as an employee, skill is not enough, attitude is very key.

Destroy all the evident that can be used against u.

Consult a consultant

Depends on the reason for your dismissal but i'll suggest you include the experience on your CV.

Sad Truth is only very few companies bother to check these things. Good luck!

Put am under WorkExperience.. Dismissal sef na part of experiencee

no need to panic, just don't include the work in your next CV

I think u shld b honest about it.
Tho it depends on d reason for dismissal.
But I believe honesty will pay off for u at d end.
Good luck

Why were you dismissed?
It is something you can defend with the next employer?
Do you think if any prospective employer asked for a reference, your former employer will say bad of you?

Answers to these should help you make a decision. All the best.
