I feel that the job desciptions and duties will help me; but I am afraid the interviewer will look down if they found out I got fired. If I should put it on the resume, what should I say to them if they question pops up?

You can put it on there and te best way to answer the question if it pops up is to say they were no longer in need of your services.

Do not put the fact of the firing on your resume. Your resume should not include the circumstances of why you left any job, either voluntarily of otherwise. It should focus on the jobs you've held, and skill you've acquired.
If you are asked in an interview about why you left, by all means tell the truth, but find a way to phrase it that is benign.

No, I would not. Now if you put the company on the application and then they ask you on paper or ask you in person. I would put or say,"The job wasn't right for me." If you got fired for misconduct, stole, or didn't show up, I would not list that job at all. If there is a gap in your resume, well I guess honesty is key. Be responsible for your own actions. If you were left go for no real reason then list it.

I would not mention on the resume that you got fired.
If the question comes up in an interview, you pretty much have to answer, but you could say something like the job just wasn't a good match.

Don't put down "got fired" as your reason for leaving. Come up with something cleaver such as " I had moral objections to the direction the company was going" or some other BS. "Personal reasons" is probably the best answer. Unless you killed someone or stole from your old employer, they will not say anything negative against you for fear of being sued!

Yes, you should put it on your resume. How else would you explain the gap in enrollment.
Why did you get fired? Honesty is the best policy.

Don't worry about being fired.
It happens, in fact, it's almost a rite of passage.
What they will be interested in, is that
you don't sound bitter or badmouth the company or make it sound like they went out of their way to sc@@@ you.
Be honest and objective, and you'll be fine.

hello. the 'safer' way is to say you 'left' the job, or do not mention it. the company's authority is more than any 6 month duration'd employee. good luck
