When Should I List Fake Experience on Resume?

[Mitakaa1341]

I'm making up that I did an internship back when I was in uni, so I’ll list that as 2019–2020. I don’t think they’ll check it since it was a while ago, and I can just say it was unpaid. For the recent fake experience, I have to keep in mind that I graduated in 2021. I was able to use a friend’s company and get references, so now I’m debating whether to put the fake job as 2022–2025, which might require more verification, or list it as 2024–2025 to reduce the employment gap and make it less likely they’ll look into it, since it’s a shorter timeframe.

Do the shorter timeframe one. 3 years is a lot of experience at one company so they might probe into it more.

Yeah, I thought so too. I’ll do that then.
