How often do employers call each of the references you put down on your resume?
I'm applying to work as a bank teller. I have plenty of prior work experience, but I've only ever worked one "office job", and I didn't leave there on the best terms (it was the place, not me). Should I put it on the resume, or leave it off?
Yes, but leave your friend's name and number as a supervisor reference, with instructions to provide you with a glowing review.

if you are applying to a bank then you can except a full background check including way more than just "calling your references"
please do you think adults are going to let you play with their $$ just because you want some job ?
what happened at the last job.

They always do in my experience, however at a corporate level the questions are basically always just related to facts such as your title and length of employment. They might ask whether you were or were not terminated though. Additionally, they'll probably just ask about it in the interview.

It sucked, so I left, just not in the most mature manner.
It was call center work, so not the most relevant per se, but it's the only sort of "indoor" job that I've had
I got fired from my last job. Put my friend as my supervisor like another anon mentioned
Been making money ever since. Never admit you got fired. Just say you left to grow or they laid you off, preferably the latter.

Two questions:
1) What type of jobs were you applying for
2) Can you give me his number? I have a couple of screenplays I'd like him to look at
