Dear Judged
Left a firmI worked for a law firm for 2 years.  After that I joined another firm.  But I continued working there for 2 months and left the place due to some issues with the partners.  I was indirectly forced to resign from the firm.  Do you think I mention this firm in my resume?

Dear Broomiebroom,

That’s a fair question. On one hand, you don’t want to lie. On the other hand, you don’t want to sabotage your career. I would say (and sorry to do this to you), it depends. Was it a large, well known law firm? Were the partners connected in the legal community? If the answer is yes, I would definitely include it, because in that case, everyone will find out eventually.  If it was a small firm, then I wouldn’t worry about including it…good luck!
