I graduated with a bachelors in computer science around 4 years ago. Long story short, I was depressed, dysphoric, and suicidal throughout my college years and by the time I finished I didn’t want to do anything. I’ve been unemployed for the last 4 years but I’ve also transitioned, started taking better care of myself, and overall I feel much better.
Anyways, I need to get a job now. What kind of lies can I get away with on my resume to cover up the long period of unemployment? Should I pretend I started some sort of company and it failed? Pretend like I went on some backpacking journey in a foreign country? Do companies even check all this stuff?
I did do an internship at a big tech company several years ago, and I’m working on personal software projects so I can put that on my resume. Also, I’m in Amerikkka.
Sorry if this question has been asked here before 
Just list a business that went under as a place where you worked
For example, you were an assistant manager at K-Mart back in 2018
Just talk a lot about how you managed to keep cool under difficult circumstances and rose to the challenge of keeping things running
Management types love that stuff
Wonder how many senior software engineers at twitter are gonna appear in 3 months time lol
twitter’s gonna die that soon?
Google “businesses that shut down in [your area]”. Most of them will be retail, but if you don’t need CS experiences, just put that in.
