[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 211679, member: 30779"] This is definitely something to avoid doing. Firstly, when it comes to ending employment, it's usually preferred to resign rather than be fired, and perhaps it's something that you could have asked for from the firm (not sure what is meant by "not particularly personal"), and again you'd probably want a reference from them. Secondly, it's not really clear what you mean by "between sending my application and being invited they fired you" - normally you'd have a notice period, but perhaps it was only one week; if you were still in your notice period then you were in fact still "working there", so this in that case would not be untrue. However if you told then that you were still working there after your employment had in fact ended then this would be dishonest and is the kind of thing that can get people banned from the solicitor's profession on top of losing a TC. It's not a given that you will be found out assuming that the employment ended after you initially applied. But worth bearing these issues in mind... [/QUOTE]
