What do you put on your resume? Make up companies? Referrals?

if u haven't worked in years

could consider..
On the application you can extend the time you worked at past jobs. So if you had a job for 1 year, add a few months on both ends, when you began there and when you left. If they check and call you out on it just say it was a while ago, honest mistake.
Yea, referral is key.

lying on a resume is just plain dumb. employment details are easily confirmed and a lie like that just isn't worth it.
if you haven't worked in years, you haven't worked in years. that's just a simple fact. what were you doing during that time? talk about volunteer work you did, any informal work you did which has marketable or transferable skills. were you continuing your education? talk about that.
the advantage of having less experience is that you can talk at greater length about experience that you do have.

I think forgetting the precise length of time you worked at established jobs is acceptable in some situations.
perhaps when..

Depends on the trade and how much work/workers needed there are. If there is a shortage of workers it doesn't seem to matter for most, so long as you can show up and perform half way decent.
But most important thing is honesty. Not saying you should tell every little detail, sometimes things like an old drug habit might be best to leave out of the picture/interview. you can always go with something like family problems/issues that you had to deal with and help out or be there, yadayada. IME, there are a lot who are sympathetic of this as opposed to a drug habit. Also, something like that it is easy to pretend that it is a somewhat touchy subject and you'd rather not talk about it.
If you have been out of work for a while and don't have very many job specific skills you might have to take whatever comes your way and build up from there. Could always use the job for references and use the money for college classes or trade school for something you want to do.

^ don't just lie to your future employer. pay somebody to do it convincingly for you.

wut is that for real???
Tell the truth.
That's what I would do.
That way, you'll get the understanding and training you need to make your work experience not only substantial emotionally but practical as well. What kind of work were wanting to get in to?

i love the idea of careerexcuse.com. they need a service for ex-felons. fuck employers. they leach on society and use hiring standards that are crashing the system. of course i just like the concept; i can't imagine the anxiety of building your life around a career established on false grounds.
OP, you gotta work a shit job and do a great job in order to demonstrate stability and begin rebuilding your resume.
