Yes....some companies don't even check references when you get hired for a new job, but most will probably ask you why you left your previous job, so you better be ready with an answer.

Join the club, I have fired twice from my jobs. The first time was because the owner did not like that I had a black boyfriend. I went out on a materity leave, and when I called to return to work, I was told that they could not hold my postion for me. A co-worker told me the true reason, that was many years ago in California. The second time was when I refused to set next to someone that was smoking on the side. I could smell smoke in her clothing, and she would leave her cigerette burning on my desk. She was sleeping with the owner, and I complained to him about her. After I got fired I found out the truth.
The first job I had worked there for almost two years, and I put on job application that they could not hold the position open. The second job since I knew that I would not get a good reference, I said that it would be too far for me to travel since they were planning on moving downtown. I did not state when their lease was up on the current place, they were going to move (twenty miles from my home). People appreciate honesty, and most people have encounter unfair employers.
I have interviewed many people and I overlooked some very bad situations, if they were honest with me about the termination.

Yes, unless you were fired because you were arrested and convicted of committing a felony on the job.
When you apply for a new job, and the prospective employer tries to contact your old employer, the former employer cannot disclose any information about why you left the company. They can only confirm that you were employed there from xx to xx.

Ofcourse you still can be hire even if you're fired before,provided you're not fired because of committing to a crime.So emploment is all about knowledge and skill,if got what it takes.......well i don't think your next employment will reject this issue.

Yes, many employers have policies against giving specific details about your employment. And you probably don't want to list them as a reference. Just don't be dishonest in any way on your new application. Most places will immediately terminate you immediately when that's discovered.

It depends on why you were fired.
Be prepared to explain it fully.
If you were wrong, accept responsibility and tell them what you learned from it that will be helpful in the job you are applying for.

yes!
If you can explain why you were let go, or if you don't bring it up, and they don't bring it up.
You can cite reasons why you are not at the previous position, but be honest about it. They will check you out.
