So much to evade that gap in the resume

What gap?

I've not been unemployed, I've been under a strict NDA for a very private employer. No, I'm not allowed their share their contact information. Sorry.

Hmm yeah don’t do that with any job with decent background checks.

No if you know they're gonna have to check, then you've worked for your cousin Randy at his placeofbusiness doing menialchore related to the industry.

You can confirm this by calling Mr Randolphius McGillecuddy, Esq.

Some background checks will look into your taxes and finances. Cousin Randy needs to be organised and rich.
