Should you list jobs you were fired from on resume?

Is layoff considered termination?

Termination occurs when an employer irrevocably breaks its contract of employment with an employee. A layoff, on the other hand, is merely a temporary cessation of work, which occurs when an employer reduces or stops an employee’s work without terminating their agreement.

Is involuntary termination the same as being laid off?

A termination can be voluntary or involuntary. The former is when the employee makes the choice to end their employment—to retire, to pursue another job, or for other reasons. An involuntary termination, in contrast, is when an employer ends the relationship by laying off or firing the employee.

Should I sign a termination letter?
