On CV etc put reason for leaving as personal. If you get to interview stage you can then explain that there was a dispute between you and 'whoever' and this has resulted in a tribunal.
It is always easier to explain in person |

From personal experience...and, I've found that they don't keep prying....say something like: "i'm looking for better hours, or a better opportunity, etc..."
Don't say conflict, etc...
They are looking for what you can do for them now, not your past. |

i would put personal reasons -- if they do ask for more details verbal tell the true but do not bad mouth the old firm.. most hr when they check past employment they just confirm the time you were there. not reason for leaving. |

first of all my friend, as some people have said about on your CV just put this and that. never put reasons on your CV.
When asked:
You felt your options were limited.
You had a clash of charactor with the supervisor/manager etc
you wanted to go on holiday for a month, they wouldn't let, you left. |

I would just say that you didn't enjoy working there and your reasons for leaving there were personal and you had a disagreement with your boss. I would try not to go into more detail about it and I doubt they will press it further. |

If there is a dispute where your previous employer is accusing you of something and sacking you for it you should fight for your rights.
However I would avoid telling the potential employer that you are taking past one to the tribunal. It will just make them distant as they may fear that this will happen to them as well. They may think that you did not perform your job or break the company policy and now you are just trying to get out of that.
There is a general rule of not speaking bad about your past employer no matter what happened to you. Explain the situation but stick to facts only, no emotions.
They cannot jugde you on the basis of your last job performance as they cannot know it for sure.
It may be difficult to get a new job with 'sacked' on your record but once the situation will clear out it should be ok. Best luck. |

you can still get a job. be honest and answer questions that are asked of you. prepare a good resume. |

Just conveniently eliminate that job from your employment history. |
