Should I put down a job I was let go from within a month on an application?

Question

So I finally got a job after looking for so long. Today i got written up at the job for

A. Working too slow (going to work on this)

B. Not following directions (all misunderstandings i'll ask more questions when i given something to do)

C. Being in the back room taking a "break" while on the clock ( this pisses me off cause i wasn't taking a break i was putting price tags on untagged merchandise. I happened to be sitting down so i could write on the table and my boss just assumed i was taking a break says "that's not acceptable" and walks out of the room not even noticing the merchandise i had on the table. Then calls me into her office at the end of the day to have the "talk" apparently i should of been tagging in the front and not in back room where our cart with all the price tags are. *shrugs*)

So she tells me she doesn't think ill make the 30 day trail period. Now I know this is all my own fault I have to pick up the pace and work faster and smarter. But when she hired she told us if any of us have to make her fill out a write up slip we might as well look for a new job cause she will write us up for every little thing there after till she can let us go legally.

This was my first job and things are already bad. So should I bother putting this down on an application or should I leave it out considering how bad a check up will look if they do let me go?

I thought things were turning around for me but I guess I'm just naturally slow paced. I don't want to start back where I started from no work experience and no references.

Answer 1

Sorry your job is not going so well.

I wouldn't list it myself, but if your new employer finds out you omitted the info, they could fire you.

If I were you, don't list it, and start looking for a new job.  Although, I may be tempted to make them fire me.

Answer 2

You have to put it down because the new employer can check that out.  You paid taxes out of your paycheck, which means that there is a record of that.  If your new employer looks into your work history, sees a gap you claim you were not working in an attempt to lie about it, you can forget about that job.  Who wants to hire a liar. Do what you are told and tell the truth.  You will ahve no issue then.

Answer 3

You've apparently already learned about what NOT to do on your next job.

I wouldn't bother putting down this job as a reference. Just call it a learning experience.

Good luck in future employment.
