Include the one that will give you a good reference and "puff up" the amount of time you were there. Also, you may want to act as if that was your only job. Good luck.

You best keep in mind that omitting any information either accidently or purposely is and can be considered fraudulent. Many companies consider this a fireable offense. The company I work for found out that someone had a DWI 10yrs ago which is a felony, but put 'NO' under the "have you ever been convicted of a Felony?" and was fired 3 weeks after he hired on because he didn't think it counted. Any past employment that isn't listed... if it is found out about is taken the same way with many companies.

I would list it all. That is why you sign the 'ALL the information above is correct to the best of my knowledge disclaimer' at the completion of the application, another words... if I omitted or left things out... you can fire me immediately.

I don't know if this is Federal law or just the state law where I live, but i believe the only questions that a prior employer can answer are 1) was this person employed these dates 2) what was their rate of pay and 3) would you rehire them. If it were me, I wouldnt lie about the one that you think you'll get a good reference from. If your future employer finds out you lied about the lenght of time you worked there, you're not likely to get hired.I probably just wouldn't mention that 3rd job where they asked you to resign. You can (proabably) give a good explaination for your attendence problems.

Good Luck!

Well just leave the two out since it is going to give a negative image on your review/resume.
