Lying on my resume is the best decision I ever made

Here on a bit of a secret account cause I don’t want this associated with my actual socials.

I am a person who jumps from job to job a lot. I rarely stay at a place longer than a year because why get a 25¢ raise from a job when you can go somewhere else and earn $2 more.

Plus I don’t like when places get too comfortable having me around.

I also have the fortune of having worked at a place that is now closed down. Ever since an interviewer made a comment about the amount of places I’ve worked at I changed my resume around. Now instead of 8 jobs in the last 8 years I have worked at my first job for a year and the closed place for six and my current job for one. Any extra years in the future will be added to the closed place.
Applied to a high end place with this resume and they were impressed with my commitment to working at this one place for so many years even through the pandemic and I said I want another place I can spend that kind of time in.

Got offered the job that day. Going to lie on my resume forever.
