ULPT - Should I lie on my LinkedIn/CV?

Careers and Work

In 2024 I had a one month job at a unicorn company, but was laid off because I didn’t fit with the workaholic culture. I managed to really understand the company/product

In 2025 I started working for a small company that isn’t recognised but helped me to pay the bills

I’m having a hard time finding another job in tech, so I thought about inflating those numbers, like saying that I was there for 6 months or 1 year.

So, should I inflate those numbers on LinkedIn and on my CV?
