everyone always says lie on your resume, and i agree that there’s no reason not to. i’ve never done it before though so i want to know what i can and can’t get away with.
for example, if i’ve been out of work since january, can i just lie and say i’m still employed by the company i quit working at in january and make it look like i don’t have an 8-month gap on my resume? or is the HR person at the place i’m applying going to be able to figure out that’s a lie?
also please give tips on what are some good lies to add, how to punch up normal looking resume shit, etc

Bullshitting about freelance projects with NDAs can be pretty good depending on your field.
NDAs are hard because even with one, you can usually at least say who you worked for and what you did (just not the specifics.). Too verifiable.
What you want is an NDA for a project with a company that has since closed down. Of course your best friend was the proprietor of such a business and will vouch for your time in lieu of there being an existing company.
