- Failed Business –
Unfortunately, a large percentage of small businesses do not continue to grow and expand and many entrepreneurs decide to return to the full-time workforce after a small business venture has failed. Your employment history on your resume should reflect the time you spent on getting your small business off the ground. Be honest with a potential employer about why you began a small business and why you think it failed. Express that the experience inspired you and that you have learned a great deal from the venture that you can now apply to a new career or job.
- Fired or Laid Off –
In a world where job security is not always as secure as we like to hope, many employers understand when an employment history ends abruptly with a lay off. Explain that your former company was downsizing or restructuring and that unfortunately you were unable to remain with them. If you left voluntarily, tell that to a potential employer. If you were fired from a previous job, be honest about the reason with a potential employer and explain that whatever resulted in your firing is something you have worked on and fixed. For example, if you were always late to work you should emphasize to a potential employer that you have taken steps to fix this issue and that you know it will not be a problem in the future.
