Do I have to put a job I was fired from on my resume?

As I already said, it is not necessary to list that you were fired from a job on your resume. When it comes to a job interview, you need to be prepared for the hiring manager to ask about why you left a previous job. And you most certainly should be honest about the fact that you were fired.
