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.
Depending on what you're applying to putting down volunteer experiences/projects might be beneficial as well. Also remember that exaggeration can get you everywhere!
