Seeing a 3 years gap on a resume is usually a deal breaker.
Some suggestions :
-Say that you took those 3 years to work abroad.
-Write a fake work experience, and be prepared to give fake references (ex : one of your close friend could do it).
As I said in my last post, I discussed the possibility of using a business that went under this year as my last "employer" that I never worked for. The business was a hardware store owned by a good friend who can back me up in case HR calls him.
My question therefore is, which is better? Putting down that I worked or traveled abroad or that I worked for this hardware store?
Go for the hardware store. Make sure to coach your friends about what you're gonna write on your resume, and what you're gonna say in the interview.
Recruiters who check references usually ask the following questions (so your friends can foresee what kind of questions they will ask):
