Sacked - Do I Keep It On My CV?
I have recently lost my job; I am looking for some advice on how to get around this problem. I basically got sacked from my position due to racial discrimination towards an employee this is something I am not proud of and want to move forward from this.
I have realised I made a big mistake in doing this. I now need to know if I should keep my last job on my CV or lie and leave it out as I know I can get a pervious manager from another position to give me a reference if future companies ask for one. My role is within sales I am still only young and don't want this to affect me for the rest of my life. Please get back to me with an answer.
Regards, Martin

Struggling Entrepreneur
I am an entrepreneur and have found it a real challenge getting past HR and Recruitment consultants, despite my obvious skills, achievements and experience. They always go for what on paper is the safest option.
They prefer to place candiates who have been classically trained, never earned more than tuppence and never had so much as a parking ticket! This is despite the fact that I was more than qualified for position advertised. Many times, it was clear that they had not read my the CV. So my question is this... Have the Blue Chip Multiples and their clone like trainings, killed off the free enteprise mindset?
