What's the worst that could happen if I lied on a resume and someone found out?
I'm a recently graduated tradesman with no job experience, but I have been keeping myself busy with complex personal projects. I want to put these projects on my resume as experience.
So instead of saying I kept myself busy by improving my parent's house, I'll put down that I did this work professionally for some small unknown company or client and got paid for it.
Would anyone find out if I did this?

Uh, you'd be fired and would have trouble finding work in the industry again? This is especially risky with a trade, as tradespeople generally know each other so word will travel fast.

well obviously you have experience in home renovations
put that on ur resume

this. no need to pump it up into some big contract or whatever.
either say you have experience in home renovations for a family member, or at least say it was a family friend that paid you to do it for them.

I think if you truly did a professional job and knew what you were doing the experience still counts. I would just say you worked independently for clients. "Self employed" is way better (and easier to defend) than a fake employer.

Yeah, I think I'll go with this. It's more fullproof than making up some fake obscure company.
