Need to Cover Gaps on My Resume Fast

Need to Cover Gaps on My Resume Fast

I work in HR, and did recruiting for a long time.

Seeing a 3 years gap on a resume is usually a deal breaker.

Some suggestions :
-Say that you took those 3 years to work abroad. If you put a random Chinese/Indian/Japanese company on your resume, they probably won't call them to check references. If they do ask for references, say that your boss didn't speak good English, give a random number from the country, and they will probably give up.
-Write a fake work experience, and be prepared to give fake references (ex : one of your close friend could do it). Or you could also make your own fake references (buy another phone number on Magic Jack, change your voice a little bit, and pretend that you are your former boss).

Two things to keep in mind about HR/Recruiters :
a) We're under pressure to fill the positions quickly, so we don't put a lot of effort into checking out references.
b) Checking references is one part of our job we don't really enjoy, so we tend to neglect it.

Good luck!
