Does it matter if you fudge dates on Linkedin but have correct dates on your resume?
Why would your resume and LI disagree?
I had a 3 month gap and didn’t want to broadcast to the world :/ so i fudged the dates added a month here and there to look like i didn’t have a gap
Ah. Probably does matter. It’s not like it’s a 1+ year gap.
just omit the months in LinkedIn
I don’t think 3 months matter. If anyone asks you can say you wanted to take a longer vacation between jobs.
The only that truly matters is whatever background check you undergo for a job. Other than that, no one checks
You don't need to put months, just years is sufficient. When I look at resumes or linked in, I just need a rough idea of career progression and experience. But be careful about what you put in background check. Those need to match.
Would I get to pick what i put in background check?
TBH background check is a Blackbox that you don't want to mess with. Answer everything honestly for the best chance. It can only deny you the job, but have no other impact.
Why would he month gap even matter? I took three months off last time I changed jobs because I didn't feel like working for a while. No one will give a fuck you took time off.
I took off 3 months at my last job because there wasn’t a lot happening and I was burned out and my boss was cool like that. Don’t sweat it.
The resume provides a snapshot of your skills; accounting for every moment with an explicit timeline is not a requirement in my opinion
A 3 month gap doesn’t matter to good employers. Being dishonest does.

Who are you voting for in the 2024 Presidential Election?
I don’t think anyone pays too much attention, but it depends. Provide example of the fudge.
I had a 3 month gap and fudged the dates so it looks like i don’t have a gap :/
It’s ok
