I was just let go from a job, after 4 months. My immediate boss did not want to fire me but my boss's boss said she had to. I had been given time to learn the new things but the boss's boss didnt think I was learning it quick enough. My boss even said she would give me a letter of recommendation if and when I need it.
So, my question is, what do I write in my CV regarding this short job and when I was let go? And then what do I say in interviews?
(the sad part was that I was never told at any time that I needed to improve the time of learning the task, but thats a whole other story)

I'm so sorry--that sounds rough. Honestly, I'd leave it off if the rest of your work history is solid. Are there particularly strong accomplishments from your four months there that you'd like to be able to point to? Resumés are more like advertisements of yourself where you put your most relevant accomplishments; they don't need to be an exhaustive work history.

Why don't you take the letter or recommendation and hold onto it for backup but see if you can leave it off your resume for now. You can reevaluate later.

Leave it off your resume and give a prior boss as a reference , not this one
