Just put in the employment dates but do not say you were fired. Leave the reason open.
If you were fired in the past, there must have been a problem. The company is afraid that the same problem will resurface while you are in its employ.
During the interview, do not reveal any negative situations unless directly asked. If you must explain a negative situation, keep it brief and blame-free. Emphasize how you have learned from the situation and emphasize that the same problem will not reoccur.
If you simply had a troublesome relationship with a former boss or co-workers but were not fired, there is no need to share these negative details in an interview
Peace and blessings!

Sounds like you are young and going through the usual bumpy start.
My recommendation would be to just put the best face you can on each job in your resume... talk about the tasks and any accomplishments... be PROUD of it.
If you have a friend working at a given ex-job that will serve as a GOOD reference, give that person as the reference and make sure that person knows you are using him/her as a reference.
By federal DOL/EEOC law, the personnel office can only say what your hire and end dates were, and cannot editorialize about you. You can get a friend to call the ex-job and check for a reference to make sure they are not saying anything overtly bad about you.
Now... when you have been in the workforce for a couple of decades, with all the changes in fortune and eb and flow, that can come with that range of experience... you will probably look back and see that even in situations where you technically left of your own volition, you really were fired.
The important thing is to maintain a positive disposition and look for ways to improve yourself and your range of skills, and to do what you can to innovate and make things better where you are employed. The other thing, which you have already discovered, is being there on time and calling in for absences within the appointed time period, preferably within 30 minutes of when you are supposed to have been there. Communication is very key.

Many employers don't like to hire those who were fired. If you lie and they check, it's game over before it even begin. Be honest then state your reason (not an excuse) - car brokedown is not good enough.

you,evidently have a problem with employment. you were fired twice in two years. you should take stock of yourself, and figure out just what the problem is. IT'S NOT THEM.
