Impact of an involuntary discharge from previous firm on future job search

I am a new grad this year but I was discharged by my previous firm after three weeks of employment. They left a "discharged -Inadequate Performance" comment on my U5 after only one single assessment. Although I think it is a bit unfair, I started to looking for new jobs, and I am worried about my record on FINRA. I am wondering if it will make it harder for me to find another job in the industry. Would it be fine for me to explain the situation to the recruiter? 

 

Really appreciate your advice! Do you think I should contact the company CCO first or just let the lawyer to contact them directly? 

 

Since your U5 is already filed, you will have to find a U5 lawyer and sue the company through FINRA arbitration. The process takes 9 months and costs $20K.
