Have you deleted any experience from your resume ? Why and how do you explain the gap?
I will go first, i have deleted my first company from my resume because even though i was very good at coding. They put me in a support project in graveyard shift. I faked illness to get out of shift, and later on was removed and put in angular project.
I moved on 6 months later to a good company as backend engineer but i really regret joining my 1st company.
When asked , I just say the work was not relevant to what i wanted.
Please share your experience too.
My whole resume is a lie. I have claimed a whole lot of stuff that i never worked on. There is no honor among thieves. Company do it all the time, why cant we,
First time I changed jobs it was effectively a technology switch, essentially they said my existing full stack skills would transfer well. Thought it would be good but basically was not what I expected in terms of technology. Also didn't help that the delivery manager and technical architect for the project there was extremely toxic and micromanaging and quite frankly unskilled when compared to their years of exp in the industry they had. So stayed there for about 2 months and left. Kept the experience for my next job switch and removed it from my resume after that.
In general it is always better to keep the experience in if you think you have done significant work and your work exp can be validated during a background check. Any experience that might paint you negatively or doesn't align with your career goals is well worth removing provided you can communicate the gap effectively if asked for clarifications.
I removed two internships because I quit halfway through
Won't it show in BGC if the company had created an EPFO account? Can't you just tell you also worked as a BE in the first company as well? I doubt anyone will check that and you get to show extra 6 months of experience in your resume.
