This is my first reply to a post so please bear with me. I am kind of in the same boat and was told that you must list the job on your resume or it will be seen as fraudulent when the prospective employer finds out doing the required background checks. I am curious as to how you handled any interview questions or what advice you received regarding how to frame your response as to why you left. Did you say you were fired or did you just say it wasn't a good fit? I think you are wise to look elsewhere for a job so you can have a fresh start. New jobs are difficult enough without carrying unwanted baggage. Good luck to you. I'm sure you will find something better and more deserving of your talents! Stay strong.
