google search companies that went out of business recently
can't follow up on what no longer exists. ideally you want something close enough to be believable but not so close that you accidentally overlap with the social circles the former business may have run in.
Could maybe say that you've been self employed depending on what kind of work you do.
Dee's Nuts (food packaging)
Ligma Balls (sports equipment mfr)
Joe Mama (maternity store for trans men)
BofA (Oh wait, that's already one for Bank of America)
Sorry i signed a NDA
They can’t ask about the products but they’re still gonna expect you to answer skills-based questions lol. If you say you worked for “cyber security at a government contractor” but you don’t know what egress filters are, then you’re probably gonna be cooked
Sorry im not allowed to elaborate on that because of said NDA
It costs $100-$200 roughly and you can be your very own CEO of an LLC. You don't need to actually do anything with it but you can put it on your resume if you're worried about a gap.
Also you can call yourself bourgeois and excuse it by being a class traitor lol
Merely having “owner” next to your name and being registered with business bureaus doesn’t mean you you have any means of production
Shh we're playing pretend.
Also if we want it to be technically real you could just open a lemonade stand for 2 hours and now you're a prettye bourgeois tyrant.
Vandelay Industries. Import/Export.
Don’t do that lol. Just say you were working at a local store or some shit. It would be more believable than some random company with no history on the internet or one that was registered 30 minutes before the interview.
Depending on what you’re applying to, you can say that you were originally hired to be a cashier but then transferred to xyz since you are the only one who knew how to do something. E.g. cashier -> internet fixer -> unofficial it -> formal transition to IT
what things have you done that you want to show recruiters?
if you're in the US you can register with the IRS as a sole proprietorship, and put your activities on your resume as "self employed".
