That's a lot to assume from a couple sentences, good sir. :)

I put in a minimum of ten applications a week (yes, I put in a lot of repeat ones) and I've been unemployed for over a year. Nobody wants to hire me because I was fired from my last job. I'm never given the chance to explain that the reason I was fired was that I was working graveyard at a restaurant and asked my cook to watch the empty dining room while I went to the bathroom, and instead he hung out in the back while a lovely woman relieved my register of its contents. Somehow that ended up being entirely my fault.

#66 if you live somewhere with a Ross Dress for Less, apply there and lie on the application, say you quit rather than got fired. Trust me, they won't check. Honestly, from a legal standpoint most places will not check, and if they do, most previous employers will not disclose that information because they could be considered liable in a defamation of character suit. Companies rely on you to feel obligated to share this information of your own volition. Never lie about the important things (your name, ssn, qualifications, criminal record) but don't make yourself look bad on an application. Just be careful not to submit duplicate applications with differing information.

It's not luck it's 24/7 effort till you land it making every effort about it and never breaking stride. If you want something bad enough you will push to get it.
