Mention that you're asking for non-tech, else you'll get tech suggestions by default

Consultant

Software Engineer

Non tech projects guys.
Also, Projects header does not define work or non work. Hence the question

Add a link to your portfolio page perhaps.

Program Manager

Do it without worrying about anything, i have several projects and it actually adds more weight to the resume.

Engineering Manager

I made a portfolio. Added all my consulting/side gigs in it. They are extremely helpful honestly. Gives you a leverage in terms of conversation with the hiring managers as well.

Though there aren't much results to them. Keeping at it because I like doing them

Product Manager

Projects. If it's open source then you can list it under Open-source contributions

Application Analyst

Especially under what heading, so that it doesn't offend recruiters or makes us look like moonlighting

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello everyone. We, a group of three friends, worked on a startup idea for hyperlocal e commerce. We worked on that idea for about a year, held several brainstorming sessions, met with various stakeholders, learned a lot about the startup system, and improved our idea based on feedback, but we dropped it after a market study and moved on. We never registered our startup but contacted startup incubators and received guidance several times; now, how can I share it on LinkedIn and in the resume experience section? Can I include a co-founder title or describe it as a project?

Looking for a referral in an early stage startup

Backend Engineer

Given the decent WLB in my job, I have been trying to figure out ways to earn extra income on the side

Can you guys pls list down some ways in which you have been able to successfully make a decent income through part time projects?

Side Hustle projects?

Note - Not working for competitor company

In this situation where a employer can hire and fire anyone anytime, why “moonlighting” or working part time, having a business, doing something of your own should be problem?

If a employer can dump their employees anytime then they have to look for themselves, they have life, expenses, dependencies.

This is a high time companies change their points on this in appointment letters and contracts.

What do you guys think?

Why one shouldn’t work outside there company?

Hey guys, my first post on here.

I have been unemployed since a year due to some personal problems, but right now interviewing. On my resume is it advisable to add my freelance work which I’ve done in the past year instead of the gap ? It was on and off freelancing for a friends company.

I wanted inputs on, if this is okay and also, how would a background check be done regarding this? Is contact with the client good enough for background verification.

Thank you

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Forgive me my Sins

In 2017, after graduating, I joined a big IT corporate as an Associate Consultant (Engineer). My start date was delayed by six months, and four months in, I was benched with half my already very low pay.

Money was tight with rent and other expenses. My family expected me to start investing in jewellery and buying land.

I was new to Bangalore and wanted more money to visit bars and expensive restaurants every weekend. Wanted to buy a bike with good gear. Along the dream to have a girl riding behind me. Sab Aukat ke bahar.

As one does, I started looking out into startups. The problem - 0 relevant work ex.

So here it goes,
I had interned at a startup in college and knew what their documents looked like. Filled the 6 empty months in my CV with a job as a “SDE-I Android” working with the founder directly.
I spiced up my CV with claims of 2x load time, reducing costs, international team collaboration, and an award.
Some college awards to boot too!

I made a detailed fake job story, read interview books, solved questions and watched salary negotiation videos. Eventually, I got into a Series A startup with only having to make 1 fake certificate.
They never checked with my previous employers, and now I earn eight times what I would have.

The guilt and imposter syndrome haunted me until I started performing well. I still feel guilty, like last Holi when my family praised my achievements.

Just excused myself and went for a smoke and a ride out. The bike is here and it is a custom painted beauty.

Guilty thoughts still go by occasionally but I am becoming more and more comfortably numb to it every passing year.

I have since stopped outright lying and just partake in the standard resume inflation.

Had to let this out.

I am a resume liar

I have 3 years of experience in other domain and i am trying to get into Data science. Any suggestions amid these layoffs ?

Machine Learning Engineer

Hello grapeviners,

I want to show my current work experience in a not so well known startup as contract role since it has been a 10 month stint only. Can I showcase it as a contract role?

It will help me justify my short stint. Also, I have been unfortunate to have had a series of short stints before as well. Those were big startups but either got closed or carried out heavy layoffs.

Please suggest. Would be quite helpful to know about the hack 🙂

Full time role to contract role

People who landed job after having 3-4 years of career gap, please share how you did it? What would be your advice to people with long career gaps?

Everyone please share your thoughts or advice on this.

They didn't select me, might as well use the content for myself 🤷‍♀️
