Hey all,
This is going to be an awkward post, in principle I have 12 yoe but throughout this I have never had salary accounted to my account officially. First 5.5 years were at 2 small web agencies who did work from O-desk ( presently known as upwork) and local shops, salary was paid in cash and I was okay with it. That's when one of my friend who did his mtech from iit m got offer from flipkart decided to start something on his own and we decided to start together. 6 years of hell we shut it on Nov of 2023. I did a Masters from a no name university (2022-24) as I felt there was gap in my technical skills and knowledge. The startup we did was a hybrid similar to pepperfry and homelane. Operations cost was higher than what we could handle eventually we had to shut it.
My question is how can I show to hiring managers that I have experience, I'm very bad doing anything remotely sketchy, event though I created a resume with some made up points, I was hesitant to send it out, my life situation is a bit messy so I send out to many companies different resumes which includes this fabricated one, out of 1200 applications I sent I got 4 interview calls, I chickened out of all of them as I thought it's not fair to other qualified candidates.
I have no idea what position to put there, I have done everything as we were a team of just 5, I have don't web page designing, hosting, recommendation systems, clustering based on pincodes for efficient last mile delivery, a chat bot with Rasa framework, a furniture valuation tool, hr work, vendor management, physical delivery of furniture more times than I can count of, and what not.
I do not know what position to apply for, I have applied for pm, project Manager, data analyst, data scientist, sde, operations, sales, and almost all other positions. Other thing is I am in huge debt that I borrowed from my families and relatives (none of them pester me though), I feel guilty of not able to pay them back. By huge I mean 8 figures.
Yeah I'm a naive guy, have a go at this and honestly I want to hear your harshest of takes.
I Thank you from my heart for sparing time to read this, Fellow grapevine and longest lurker.
Fake it until you make it. Build a portfolio and reach out bros here for a referral.
You need proof of employment. Beware of background checks BGV. You need atleast an email from genuine domain (.eml file) to be downloaded and submitted for background verification. Point of contact, office physical address. EPF history, but may apply to your case. Gather and make things align before you fabricate resume. BGV agencies are stricter and have lot of means to find the fabrication. Smartones still escape
