ULPT: I need advice list of companies that have recently closed down for my resume
Posted by ch1993@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 10 comments
I have a huge gap in my resume recently because a few jobs I worked, I only lasted a bit because their culture was toxic. Afterwards, I was doing an online gig that is hardly impressive.
I need something to fill the gap because I’ve been applying like crazy but never get a response. I have been using “independent contractor” but I believe this has hurt my chances.
I need to start lying and fabricating in order to not lose everyone I love at this point. Any tips?

Why closed down? Get a friend to act like a manager on your behalf. Shit, I'd even do it.

It depends on what timeline you're looking for.
If you land on a good, closed company, go all in on your "qualifications"

I am the grim reaper at my work. If I get transferred and I am your coworker. One of you is invariably gone

From what I’ve learned a lot of amusement parks will not give out any information on their employees. I had a government background check for a security clearance for my job and the amusement park would not confirm whether or not I worked though even though it was like 7 years prior to the new job I was in. From talking with the investigator this is pretty common.
So if you did fabricate a record, amusement park (even upper management at an amusement park) could be a good way to go.

Just do a giant company like Amazon. They never check anyways

Better to find some small ones that are at least regionally close to you.

Maybe it wasn’t the culture that was toxic……
