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.
Thanks for the help. I'm also having trouble figuring out why exactly this is happening. I have no arrest record, literally nothing comes up when I google my name other than social media pages belonging to people with the same surname.
In the OP I said I believe it's something about my resume, but a ton of people have told me you don't need a resume for fast food. So I've tried applying to a few fast food places without any resume at all and still no bites. It's getting maddening and I have no idea what to do.
Call center work is something I want to do even less than fast food, but it's starting to look like that's all that's left to try before a literal back breaking manual labor job
