[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the help. PP that person could be me. Although I really need to us my previous work experience (the one I just got let go from) on in my portfolio.

What if I listed it as contract work and said they were looking for someone with more management experience? I don't know...[/quote]

I'm not in your field, but if this is like architecture in which you have a resume, but you also have a portfolio of samples you send over, then I'd say keep the most recent job off your 1-2 page resume, but mention in your cover letter that you're doing temporary work while looking for the right fit for your next perm position (and sign up with an actual temp firm so this is true). Then when submitting something you worked on at this last job, if you need to cite where it came from, say it was with one of your temporary assignments.

Again, this really takes me back to my earlier recommendation. You should do some temp work so that you can honestly say these things and diversify what you're submitting. If you only submit work from a place that let you go, that's not good. Even if you don't list them as a reference, some one will likely call them anyway.[/quote]
