After quitting my job about five to six months ago due to gay return-to-office (RTO) policies, I've spent my time traveling and working on various personal projects and NEET'ing. Now that I'm re-entering the job market, I'm updating my resume and facing a question that I think a lot of people might encounter:

Is it acceptable to list my last position as "present" on my resume, even though I left several months ago? For context, many companies and third-party background check services require candidates to re-enter their actual employment dates during the hiring process. When that happens, I would, of course, provide the true dates I was employed.

I'm curious—what is the best way to approach this situation on a resume?

Sounds like techfag, if you're applying at companies where they'll pay you within the level band regardless and your YoE are actually meaningful and not just retarded low iq boomer's interpretation of seniority then just put your actual quit date on there.
Else put present if you think the knuckledraggers in HR will lowball you at the lower tier companies

>>60655936 (OP)
If it is all 2025 put that. Or creatively conclude that your 2022-2024 job was actually 'up untill 2025' and write 2022-2025.

Just put the actual date you left, no one cares.

I only lie in interviews and just take credit for things my coworkers did

>>60655936 (OP)
i wouldn't. they verify the dates of your employment and you have a valid reason for leaving

This. I lie so much im amazed at what i get away with. At my last job i lied my way to 8 years of experience when i only have 5 to get paid more. I called the register whos job it is to keep track of experience, got documents, and literally just changed a few dates in fucking paint. And it worked. This was 3 years ago. Employers are fucking retarded

I know a guy who did exactly this… they came down on him like a ton of bricks he got 6 months in prison and banned for life from applying for jobs

if you have a employment gap greater than 2 weeks on your resume, HR roasties and fags will throw your resume in the bin

> Now that I'm re-entering the job market
Spoiler: You will not re-enter a job. AI does jobs now.

Yeah as an HR recruitment agent I can tell you this is a very bad idea. We are trained to sniff out lies like this. If I see someone have a gap for over a month usually it's a no for me, it just shows that you don't have a sense of responsibility.

>>60656464
>sense of responsibility
Towards what?

>>60656487
Being a white person that has the burden of being honest to a fault rather than lying about nearly everything on the resume like an idian

>If I see someone have a gap for over a month usually it's a no for me, it just shows that you don't have a sense of responsibility.
this is emblematic of everything wrong with the labor market. god forbid someone take some time off because they can afford to right? wouldnt want anyone who has a shred of self-respect or a desire for a life that doesnt include work.
i hope you and your kin die in your sleep.

>>60656513
It just screams selfishness. No responsibility. The company depends on you and your coworkers do too.

>>60656520
Lmao


Hahahahahahahaha

Die on the street wagie

B8. Pretty decent b8. Congrats

Hi spammy

>>60656464
> as a obese hr roastie, you have to be perfect or ill say no
Lmao, the fat hr cunt in my interviews didnt catch any of my bullshit, and i managed to get 17% higher salary then they offered. If you start working out, lower the emphasis that your job title is your identity, and halve your time on sovial media, you might attract a mid man. Gl on that tho. Stay strong and independent bossgirl

>>60656520
No they don't, they've got AI for that.
