Lying can cause you real problems. Employers can terminate a person who lies on their application at any time. In the real world that means an employee is hired, works several years, and then due to a personality conflict with a supervisor (or any other reason) the employer decides to fire the employee. The employer looks around for a legal reason to fire the employee, if there is a lie on the application that is the golden reason.
What should you put, I advise people to try and not use the word "fired" or "terminated", instead try "separated", "released" "let go" . The phrase 'separated by mutual decision' -- meaning the employer wanted you out and you agreed, is good. Only use 'down sized' or 'laid off' if the circumstances of the termination can be interpreted as that.
Never complain about a former employer, even when explaining that they let you go. One of the best comments is 'new management came in and it was not a good fit". Good luck.

How long were you at this job? If it's a year or under,don't mention this job. If they mention the gap,( which they probably won't) just say you were taking care of an ailing relative. If you were there five years more or less, the question will say, reason for leaving, write, irreconcilable differences. On your verbal interview, if they want more details, say, for me it was a salary increase issue and stop there end it, end of story....If they do contact your previous employer, he may say something different but so what , this is what you thought and that is what he thought....

Is the true reason why you were fired bad enough to ruin your reputation? If not , tell the truth. You can always remember the truth but you may forget the reason if you had fabricated a lie.

You could put something like "personal reasons". If they specifically ask if you were terminated, don't lie about it though.

Not enough hours. Meaning you wanted more hours but they didn't have a budgeted position to give you those hours.
