I would deal with the "termination" word from the source from the start. Also share the positives that you shared in your email. In this case, being forthright could work to your advantage. Also, since your job was abolished, I would ask the person you gave as a reference to explain the use of the term "terminated" instead of "laid off" or "position abolished".

Be careful with this one because, In Illionios anyway, a former employer is allowed by law only to comment on the dates of hire and termination. They are not allowed to comment on why you were released.

I was in the same situation a few years ago. I kept it short and simple by stating that my position had been eliminated. No one ever questioned that statement (it was true for me and it appears to be true for you), and I received several job offers, so I don't think it hurt me at all. You could also contact your former employer and ask that they also say the position was eliminated instead of using "terminated".

If you place on the application "position terminated" this would conicide better with what the company is telling protential employers. I would also in an interview tell them as you did in your email "the job had changed from what it was five years ago, and I was no longer a good fit" . You may want to also speak to the HR of the former company and request a letter outlining what had occurred or ask if they would let potential employers know it was not you but the position that was terminated.

This happened to me a few years ago and I put position was cut from the budget. I have had 3 new jobs (all promotions) since then. No questions were ever asked.

Diane, actually, in Illinois an employer is allowed to give specific reasons why a person was terminated. They can give any work-related information to prospective employers (regardless of if the employee was terminated, resigned, or laid off) as long as what they say is documented and on file.

I am wondering if part of the problem here could be that the person was not laid off but was actually terminated (fired) and only thinks it qualifies as a layoff because of the severance and unemployment. In Illinois, being fired does qualify for someone to get unemployment (but quitting doesn't) as long as it was not for gross negligence or dereliction or duty. In addition, many people are given severance packages even though it is considered to be a termination and not a layoff.

I don't think the person is lying in the question above. I just wonder if they misunderstand what really happened when they were let go. From the way it reads, it sounds like they were terminated/fired, not laid off.

I was in this situation 8 years ago when my position was eliminated due to budget cuts. In my resume, letters of references and interviews, I noted that the release was due to a reduction in force and stated that my previous supervisor(s) would be available to speak to them. I am facing the same situtation again having received my reduction in force letter three weeks ago. With the economy and jobs scarce, I am very worried this time I will not be as fortunate this time.
