When you are creating your resume, you don't need to put every random job you've ever had. What companies do is they look at your jobs on the resume, and at most call the employer and ask them if you worked for them and how you did at the job.

There is no way for a non government employee to know if you worked other jobs. Keep off any jobs that you worked at for less than 2 years and use every skill you learned as a skill for your resume.

Nothing hurts your resume more than having 3 or 4 jobs in a span of 2 years because it shows you are unreliable.

So if you're keeping off any jobs that you've worked at for less than 2 years, does that mean you lie about dates to cover up the gaps?

    I wouldn't lie about dates. If they end up speaking to that company, it wouldn't be surprising for them to be mentioned. The second they find you lying about information, they'll pass on you as a candidate
