I got laid off from a big 10 federal government contractor in April due to DOGE cuts. I’ve been working a part time (25 hr a week) consulting gig at a public university since June. Would it be a lie to just list the job title as a normal job title on my resume, or do I need to put “(part-time)” in parentheses next to it? I’m leaning towards just listing it as a normal job title and then disclosing truthfully if asked in the interview if it was full time or part-time? Am I a liar for doing this?

There’s no need whatsoever to disclose that it’s a part-time gig. It’s irrelevant.

Extremely irrelevant. I’ve even put internships as full time. When they call to verify employment they only verify dates, not titles, responsibilities, or hours.

I got laid off too but I was only unemployed about a month. If you want my tips:

Whatever you have experience doing dedicate a resume to that: business analyst, manager, whatever.

When you use LinkedIn filter for jobs posted in the last 24 hours.

Apply apply apply. I apply to 100 jobs a day

I land at least 3-4 interviews every other week. Doesn’t mean I get a bunch of offers but it’s something lol

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
