I really desperately need a job right now and I'm not even getting interviews at fast food places.
It's really starting to look like I'm going to have to just lie my way into having a better resume. I have no moral problem with this, but I'm worried I'll be asked to verify things. I did some volunteer work for a library when I was in high school one summer. This was like five years ago. Would I have any problem if I extended that couple months out to a couple years?
Mostly I'm worried they'll call the library themselves to verify. It seems unlikely to me that they would still have a record of this, but I'm not sure.
for that long ago, and those jobs, I'd just put "contact details on request" or similar, then tee something up for a friend to give you a good reference
