I'm looking for a job, but my resume is pretty scarce. I'm starting to think that's why I haven't been getting any interviews at all. Usually I'm too nervous to lie, but I have no real choice right now, so I'm trying to think about any obvious holes that might end up in my story.
I was thinking of making up freelance work instead of using a dead company that they might be able to contact the owner of. But I've never actually done freelance work before so I have no idea what kind of questions they'd ask about that.
Depending on the work possibly a example/portfolio and the contact information of any clients willing to talk about your skills/work.
