could anyone give me any advice as to how to create a new resume? i’m having a lot of trouble with doing so because i have a very rough history with jobs ( quitting without notice many times when i was much younger ) and also because i’ve been unemployed for 2 years now. I know that lying is something i’m going to have to do to make myself seem more employable and so i don’t get heavily interrogated, but i really just don’t know how to fill in the gaps without making it seem suspicious. I’m not very good at lying and i’m autistic so all of this has been very difficult for me. i’d love to know if any of you have been in the same place as me and if so, what you did. any advice would be much appreciated! heart-sickle

    I had a shitty period of work and I glossed over it by grouping all that time under an agency I worked for. Any time I talk about work experience from that era it was for a ‘client’ of the agency.

    I also worked some interesting jobs through a recruitment company but they were all short term contracts. When the question of ‘why did you leave?’ Comes up I can say it was the end of the contract.

    You might need to find people willing to lie to cover up the last two years though, or stretch out your last role on your resume to look like you finished last week.
