I was recently fired after being told that I was not logging on for virtual meetings with students. It was a lie, they didn’t believe me and fired me 2 days later. While looking for a new position I do not want to say I was fired, so what can I say for the reason I am no longer employed?

    I'm looking for a position that matches my strengths and interest better.

    You can say that your last job wasn’t a match.

    Your new employer cannot ask you if you were fired. Your new employers can ask you for the reason you left your last job.

    At that point you can say that it wasn’t a match.

    No Union. It was college. I was already looking for a new job, so I didn’t see the need to fight because it was an extremely toxic environment.

    Were the meetings conducted over Zoom? If so, the administrator can look up meeting attendees for past meetings (assuming they have a paid account.) There should be proof of your meeting attendance. You may be able to seek legal action for unjust dismissal.

    If it was a company provided device, they could also potentially track your usage and be able to tell if you were in the meetings.
