i'm not concerned about pay atm but something to fill my resume because the unemployment gap is getting severe. it needs to be something white collar and equally skilled as my previous jobs so it doesn't look like a downgrade.
any tips on how i can do that?

Just lie. Fucking lie as much as you need to. The job market is downright brutal and HR people are just pure fucking evil.

>HR Caring about a job gap in a fucking global economic crisis, not to mention forgetting about the pandemic when a lot of companies shut down for good
>HR lying about experience required to perform job
>HR lying about selecting another candidate, only to repost the same job listing a day later
>literally trying to stop someone from being able to house themselves and their children if applicable over truly petty shit like "mm I think he dressed too professionally / not professional enough for the role"

Commit random acts of rebellion against the evil HR karen dystopian nightmare society.

can i go to the extent of putting fake work experience on my resume knowing that they use bots to automate the process? there's no fucking way to explain a 2+ year gap to a bot

You can do whatever the hell you want. There are no rules when you're playing an unfair game designed to kill you.

>>33650454
I meant regarding your resume. You can put whatever you want on your resume. I am not advocating for anything else lol (although prank calling / harassing the company's phone number if they reject you is funny)

>application goes through and hr asks for references from previous job that you lied about
what do?
>>
>>33650439
HR are the ones who push back against experience inflation. It's hiring managers that want 10 years of experience for an entry level position. Nobody is overlooking you for over dressing and nobody takes pleasure in declining your application you self absorbed weirdo. It's hard for everyone out there.

Don't lie but explain the gap. I've seen resumes with stay at home parent or something and I've called them for an interview. Literally anything is better than nothing. If you out nothing we assume you were in prison or something.

t. HR
Feel free to ask me questions although obviously I can't speak for all HR everywhere

Put your education at the top and that should explain it. Obviously I can't control what other people/recruiters do but if you have everything else the position requires it shouldn't matter.
>>
>>33650457
If it's bullshit jobs like store clerk or shoe shiner or whatever, go ahead. The managers don't get paid enough to check past work history

I started an LLC and list myself as an employee in whatever role I want depending on what a given job listing says.

Your main goal at the application stage is to get your resume past the bot / ATS system and get it seen by a real human so you can start explaining and reasoning things with them.
