Navigating Job Interviews: Should I Disclose My Past Dual Employment and Termination?

I have accidentally engaged in dual employment in the past for 10 days between Company A and Company B.

After 2 years, Company B encountered an issue with this overlap and subsequently terminated my employment.

I then joined Company C and disclosed all my previous experiences, which they were fine with.

Now, as I am seeking a job change, I am wondering whether I need to explicitly mention the 10 days of overlapping and the subsequent termination. The overlap is evident in my resume under the Experience section, where I detailed my prior roles. However, I have not yet discussed the termination.

The question is, should I inform potential employers about:

A) The overlapping period (even though it is visible on my CV)

B) The termination, despite the lack of a specific reason mentioned in the termination letter

If so, when should I address these points? Is it best to bring them up during the initial contact or after the interview, so they can assess my skills first?

The termination letter simply states: "Terminated and not given any reason."

At Company B, have they deducted PF for you? If yes, then it's better to disclose information about Company B. Also, if you hide your experience at Company B, you will be lacking 2 years of experience in your profile, and you may not be able to justify the salary you are expecting based on your experience. If Company C opts for a background verification through UAN, they will discover details about Company B. Therefore, it's wise to reveal information about Company B. Some employers may accept this, while others may not.

@Lakshmi Narayanan, Thanks for the response. I told Company C about this, and I am currently working for Company C only. They are okay with this.

But now, I am looking for a job change, i.e., Company D. So do I need to tell them about:

1. Overlapping
2. Termination?

Because now it's a past mistake.

Hi, even if you don't disclose whether they go for a background verification (BGV), they will come to know about it. There is nothing wrong with sharing, but share the exact background.
