Navigating Job Termination: Should I Tell My New Government Job About My Past GDS Dismissal?

I was terminated from a GDS post under the Department of Posts. The GDS post is a temporary position and not a civil service role. They terminated me for unauthorized leave. Now, I have obtained a permanent Central government job. Should I disclose my termination to the new department?

Never, ever lie about anything when applying for a job. You will get found out.

Golden rule: Actions have consequences.

The consequences of hiding facts, especially in a government job, could be very serious.
