After a layoff is it better on your resume to have a 6 month gap or 3 month gap and 3 months of work where you learned a lot and can speak on, but moved on because it wasn’t for you?

You can list the 3 month engagement as a temp job, since it was literally temporary. Yes, fibbing, but gotta do what you gotta do in this market 🤷‍♂️

I’ll give you a life hack- when they inquire about your gap just let them know you signed a NDA.

This too! I’ve gotten feedback from a couple of roles that they work with my former employer and can’t offer me a role for xmonths etc due to agreements - a signed non-compete agreement is an excellent way to explain gaps

I always include any work I do on my resume. Ran a baking business as a side gig when I was younger - marked that as business ownership (I likewise have my current side business, which is fiber crafting, listed on my linked in and resume with title owner/CEO)

For roles that don’t fit, I report them as contracts or consulting roles. Most companies know that the greater majority of those types of gigs are temporary/short term.

Sometimes I don’t update either and just act like I’m still doing the role I was laid off from. In 95% of situations no one actually verifies those things

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
