Yes...you were there for a considerable length of time-which shows you have committment...maybe the company simply was going in a different direction and you were part of the old administration?...just be sure to have a response when your future employer ask about why you left or what happened at your last place of employment...more importantly, do not simply put the 9yr. job down and allow your future employer to cold call there and be told that you were fired...you should tell them first...It may be helpful to make sure that your previous employment will give you some form of decent recommendation...if they can not do that, I would think seriously before placing them on my future applications...do you have one person from that job that you can place down that you know will give you a glowing recommendation? Stick with them!! 9 years is a long time and a conscious employer should seek out people willing to stick with one employment for an extended period of time...Good luck, AMY

Yes on a job application not on your resume. (I've seen people write that on their resume before) You can't leave a big whole in your work history without some kind of explanation. Be prepared to answer the interviewer when they ask you why you left. Try and keep explanations brief, stay away from personalizations that make it sound whiny. Keep to the facts and keep it professional as much as possible.

You kind of have to. Otherwise your prospective employer will wonder what you've been doing for the last 9 years.
If you think you were fired wrongly, tell them the circumstances.

Certainly! Leaving it off would lead to a gap in your history. Being fired does not have the stigma it once had and legally your former employer can only state whether or not you are eligible for rehire and the dates of your employment.

Dear Sir,it depends on the reason of firing , anyhow may I suggest that you don't put it on the papers but you have to tell your new boss verbally so you can be honest with him and you grantee that if anybody read these papers will not have bad impresion on you

Yes. Because if the new place you work at hires you and then finds that you lied on your app they will fire you too.

if you left on really bad terms, then no. if it was a standard company lay-off, then by all means, yes. if you did something really crazy, like torch the boss's office, and take a dump on his car, then yes, because you next employer won't believe it, and most likely hire you.

Yes you should. Be able to explain why you left in a positive way though.

depends why they fired you. if it was company downsizing then yes. if you were stealing or did something for them to terminate you then no. alot of companys downsize this is normal. but stealing or other behavior at the workplace is not acceptable.
