could anyone give me any advice as to how to create a new resume? i’m having a lot of trouble with doing so because i have a very rough history with jobs ( quitting without notice many times when i was much younger ) and also because i’ve been unemployed for 2 years now. I know that lying is something i’m going to have to do to make myself seem more employable and so i don’t get heavily interrogated, but i really just don’t know how to fill in the gaps without making it seem suspicious. I’m not very good at lying and i’m autistic so all of this has been very difficult for me. i’d love to know if any of you have been in the same place as me and if so, what you did. any advice would be much appreciated! heart-sickle

    for the past two years i’ve been fortunate enough to have my parents support me, but i haven’t been going to school during this time either, i really haven’t done anything in that time that i could put down on my resume, so yeah i may just have to lie and say that i’ve been attending school.

        I’ve worked mostly in the restaurant/service industry, so i’m most likely going to apply for jobs in that field, but I’d really like to try something else because the amount of socializing I have to do is dreadful for me

          Are you decent with computers? Maybe you could try and apply to some computer repair shops. Should be a hell of a lot less socializing. I used to wait tables before working in tech so I totally get how exhausting it is to be constantly interacting with customers is.
