First off, ask yourself how long you were there. Can you just put it off as "work hiatus" - taking some time off from working? If you were taking classes, perhaps you could say that you were a student attending school. I was unemployed for 11 months once, but that was due to 9/11. Was there any "event" that could fill in that gap?
Other than that, I would ask for a letter of reference (maybe not referral) or verification of employment from the HR department. They, by law, can only state: dates you worked, your name, and possible salary. I don't believe that they can legally state why you no longer work there.
This is a tough one, because politics can be thick and people are usually out for their own self-interests and will bulldoze anyone in their way. No ethics. You might want to talk with an EEOC rep or lawyer that deals with employment issues.
If the prior employer would be kind enough to just state that you were "laid off" would be more fair....
Best to you!

Be honest, tell them you had a disagreement unfortunate but never the less a disagreement...here's why; when I place someone on an assignment (Job Placement) I have to check with the unemployment office via your SS#, I check to see if your telling me the truth about the jobs you had, the length of time you were there, not the reason you left tho, then I check with the last employer. So you see I will understand your being let go(as long as it's not thievery)but I don't think if you lie you would be a good employee for my firm. See?

Depends. If you were at that job for a short time, I wouldn't even mention that company as a former employer. If you were there longer, say a year or more, I'd say you left the company because you were falsely accused of leaking information and you left in protest.

Usually an interviewer would just ask you why you left your last job. You may not want to lie as they may check them as a reference, but your former employer may not even tell them the real reason for fear of law suits.
The reason should be something positive like I went as far as I could go and am looking for more challenge and not there was a difference of opinion or the boss was a jerk.

You don't. Just say you had to leave your job due to a family emergency and now that the emergency/crisis is over you are ready to get back to work.
NEVER tell an employer you have been fired, even if it wasn't yoru fault, they see it as a strike against you.

you say nothing.
If they ask "why did you leave your last job" then say that you felt that the company wasn't using enough of your talents.
They MAY ask if they can contact your last employer, just say no.

if you list on you job application, you need to be able to explain what happened. employers will call another company to ask question about why you where let go.

Personnel Departments can research your background totally. Therefore, you should practice honesty.
Half the persons that leave companies quit, and half are fired.
Good luck!

If your not working now, just tell them that you got done to take some college courses, by the way are you really smart at anything in particular??
