I feel like I should quit. I don't think I can do nothing for 2 years. Its was a really good job, but I actually wanted to do something.

Is this what white collar jobs are like? I have noticed everyone in the cubes just talks all day. They even seemed kinda annoyed that I wanted to talk about work at work.

Am I supposed to just make up my own project? Wont I get in trouble for that? Any advice from old fags would be useful

Don't lie on your CV, but please don't be honest.

Stretching the truth is sales 101, and you are selling yourself.

I, for example, work in an industry where they will legit never hire people without exp, even interns require exp. I got an internship in an unrelated role at a barely related company. I talked it out with my boss and got them to agree to change my title to something more sell-able.

This is easy it costs them zero and they will remember you later for networking.

But the important part is by claiming 1 year of exp for this job I started getting interviews for crazy positions that required 10+ years exp. I had so many offers that I found one that was actually entry-level and took that.

Always claim you have 1 year exp in whatever you're doing(school, internships, doing it as a hobby all count) . If they press you on what you did at your old job, just read their own job description back to them. Its exactly what the HR cucks are looking for.

And don't be scared of technical interviews, If your not qualified then you werent going to get the job anyway. But its better to fail out at that point then be honest and never even get a call back.
