I am applying for new role, when i apply new role, in my CV is it ok to omit few experiences? If they were short term like 3-4 months only? Is it ok to have overlapping time frames? Also is LinkedIn has to be match with CV? How much recruiters try to validate with LinkedIn? TIA

I know that I leave off work experiences I think don’t apply to what I’m applying to jobs, or I don’t think belong on my resume because they were shorter experiences. So I think you’re fine to omit anything you don’t want to show on your résumé. Plus I do have gigs that overlap on my resume. It’s never been an issue.

there's truly no rules is the thing!

Honestly, some of the best interview questions I’ve ever used were ones I picked up from mentors or random LinkedIn posts. If it helps you uncover something meaningful and you’re not pretending it’s an original, I think it’s fair game. The delivery and intent matter more than who came up with it first.

It depends, regulated sectors like fintech often require a full background check before the offer is considered valid. They require your declared role and start and end dates to match what the referrer from the company is going to confirm. That can be a deal breaker if not completed, you know, compliancy.

What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
