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.
-Write a fake work experience, and be prepared to give fake references (ex : one of your close friend could do it).
As I said in my last post, I discussed the possibility of using a business that went under this year as my last "employer" that I never worked for. The business was a hardware store owned by a good friend who can back me up in case HR calls him.
My question therefore is, which is better? Putting down that I worked or traveled abroad or that I worked for this hardware store?
Better to say you worked for the hardware store that went under. Just say you were an "Analyst", and gear whatever you did towards the job you are applying for at least slightly. Generic position titles are the best.
