Disclose Short-Term Employment/Firing in Background Check to Ensure Honesty and Transparency.

When a background check asks about prior terminations, it's usually best to be upfront, especially if the employer is going to verify your work history. In this situation, where you worked for just a week and then quit, but the record shows you were fired for not meeting quota, it's wise to come clean. If you get the chance, you can briefly explain what happened. Not mentioning it could backfire if the discrepancy is discovered. Being honest helps maintain your integrity and keeps the job offer on the table.
