Should I put that I got fired on my job application or that I have no experience?

Im 17 and I got fired from my last job for poor performance and I'm having alotttt of trouble finding a new job. You know how the economy is now so I can't even find a store in the mall that is hiring. Nobody needs new employees so I have to work extra hard to even get an interview. I've been putting my experience on my applications but I only worked at my last job (fast food) for 2 months before getting fired. So do places where you can work part time (like walgreens or clothing stores) care enough to turn away applicants that have gotten fired before? Should I lie and put that I havent had any experience? Because right now it seems like that might even be a better look than someone who got fired. Thanks.

2 months is really nothing i would just say you never worked before. Most places only want to see experience if its a year or more. Putting the job that you got fired from is a bad idea if they do call them and they say you were fired most likely they would look for another candidate. |

No dont put you got fired, they have no way of knowing that unless they personaly know your boss, dont put previous experience at all. |

Don't put that you got fired. It's better to have no experience at 17 because it's not unexpected. You are not required to tell employers about your past experience unless you want them to know. |
