nope is illegal and wrong
An employee should not be fired for this reason. However, because most employment is at-will, an employer can fire an employee without having to give a reason.
You can be fired for good reason, bad reason, or no reason, as long as a statute is not violated.
You can be "fired without warning" anywhere, but that does not necessarily mean 'with cause'. Being denied unemployment benefits by the state would depend on the investigator's findings as to the truth of reason for the firing.
Most of the time, you can be fired with no notice and without a reason. Most states are right to work states and that is what you agree to when you accept the job.
Unless you have a contract that states otherwise (you probably do not - most employer/employee relationships are "at-will"), or unless local law states otherwise (it probably does not), you can be fired for any reason or no reason with or without notice as long as the reason is not discriminatory or illegal. Firing you for wearing jeans is perfectly legal.
You should put down that you were fired and state the reason for why you were fired.
Arkansas is a "Right to work" state which means you can be fired for and reason of no reason at all "Terminate at will".
Those who get fired leave the job because the boss demands it.
It depends what you got fired for, BUT there's no reason why not. So long as the new management are prepared to 'wipe the slate clean' with regards to the reason you were fired by their predecessors.
Well, the canned answer is that you say "it wasn't a good fit" and that you are "looking for better/more interesting opportunities" Without knowing more about the situation or the reason that you were fired it's the best blanket answer I have
It depends on the state you live in. For example, in RI, if you quit or are fired, you cannot collect for 8 weeks. In Florida which is called a 'right to work' state or 'at will' state. You can quit or get fired without reason, but unless there is misconduct, you are eligible. If your boss doesn't fight it saying they had a valid reason, you are fine.
If you live in an "at-will employment" state, you can be fired for any reason or no reason at all. If this applies to you, then the answer is "maybe".
