I have an old 6 month job gap because of an illness. Would it be wrong to pretend I worked during that time on my resume?

No, i cut out jobs entirely that i only worked at for a year and just extend others. If you want, you can even just make it all up completely.

I am a permaneet for over a decade, if they ask for my resume I would just tell them I worked for uber eats or something.

This. I do it all the time. The age of being honest with recruiter roasties is over. Lie your teeth off and get that fucking job, OP.

For context I should maybe mention:
>was neet
>worked 6 months retail
>was neet again because too depressed to work
>recovered permanently and started uni and part time work

it's the gap between the retail and the uni I want to close.

It doesn’t matter. Once you graduate it’s like your job experience resets.

Only put years, not dates. My CV would be full of holes when I didn't work for months but leaving only the years it looks neat. Also lie, but only if it's not verifiable info.

What is the risk of lying about your position on a resume? Say I am an engineer 1 but I put engineer 2 on my resume. Is this even something that gets verified?

>>53288779
No, lying on your resume is a human right. If you cant do the work once you get in they fire you anyway. everything before that point is just bullshit we make up as we go along

Still in college. I'm looking for a new part time job.

I don’t think they’ll care if you’re currently employed. If you’ve not been employed for a year, stick it out until it’s been a year.

>> No.53289686

>>53288779
not at all, just put start and end year of when you worked
your not even lying then...
I turn 4 months of experience into 2 years with that method. If I started in October 2022 and I am currently working this job i'd say 2022-2023 or 2022 - present

This is the trick I use as well, who gives a fuck about exact dates.. years works fine and it is technically true so they can't fuck with you on that.
