on application put explain later.
at interview just say : you need more money, wanted a different job, just moved,
if the company let you go, say you got laid off and needed another job
needed a change
how long were you at other job--- this makes a difference too. if only 2 weeks then dont have to put that on application, and dont need to say anything.
but if been there at least couple of years. then try those tips.

First things first: There is always a reason, it's just not always good (or apparent). If you were really terminated "without reason", then you can't be "at fault", so you should be eligible for unemployment benefits, provided you worked long enough before you were terminated.
Furthermore, if you have absolutely no idea why you were terminated, then you should ask the employer why you were terminated. If they say "we just didn't need so many people working", or something along those lines, then ask why they let you go but kept other people. This should give you a much better idea of why you were let go.
Assuming they really just let you go because they couldn't afford you, and they let you go for a innocent reason (such as you being the newest person), then you can simply explain that during upcoming interviews. Better yet, if there are no hard feelings between you and the prior employer, you should ask them to write you a letter of recommendation that explains the situation.

now now, there's ALWAYS a reason you've been fired. Whether you admit it or not, trust me, there's a reason. What you NEED to do is find out why you've been let go and DON'T DO IT AT YOUR NEXT JOB.
And to answer your question--do not ever say "My Boss at such and such company did not see eye to eye" (that shows that you do not get along well with others). And if you actually said "I got fired and I dont know why", that would show you are too stupid to be working fore me, (sorry, but it does)--and trust me, the hiring manager would be on the phone 2 seconds after you left, trying to find out WHY you got fired.
It's best just to tell the truth. And if you were terminated "without reason", well then that's what the EEOC is for.
Stop being a victim.

I have had that situation in the past and I was honest on most applications about the situation. Don't do it just put down that you were laid off from the position. Other companies may be reluctant to hire you because they don't know why you were released and without any explanation from you as to why you were terminated they will be leery of your background.

personality conflict?
I responded to it last time being honest - I'd worked 7 months without a day off and couldn't get time off to do anything when I needed it. That I would be at the job as needed but occasionally had something I'd like to do and wanted to be able to do that.
I got the new job and have been there almost 3 months - really like it.

as an Evil Scorpion, my job is to sting those that cross my path, so I am always employed. In my alter ego as a human, I simply put "Personal Reasons"
