yo, i got sacked from my part-time job in April for taking drugs on a staff night-out.
but i've now graduated from uni and am ready to start applying for graduate jobs. are my previous employers going to tell potential employers that i was sacked if they phone up and ask about me? what is my best tactic here? am i absolutely fucked?

Don't list it as experience, don't even include the job.

To be safe, just don't mention the part time job unless it was in a very relevant area and proves very relevant experience.

i dont think i could get away with that? im in the uk and you have give to your new employer the form P45 that was given to you by the previous employer when you left

Oooh. I see why you're worried. Hopefully the likelihood of a serious company calling back to a part time gig is very small...? Sorry I don't live in the UK.
Are there laws about what ex-employers can say about you? There are in the US, not that it's heavily monitored...
You could write an apology letter to your last employer and ask them to keep it confidential for you. Apology letters are surprisingly effective. Say it was a youthful indiscretion and you've learned your lesson/very sorry for the inconvenience you caused them.
