Hi,
Being informal, assignment-based work certificate/document will not be applicable. In all fields, such small entrepreneurs are flourishing who work on an assignment basis. No PF/ESI deductions, just consolidated pay. Probably keep one reference with a contact number ready. Only if they ask, you can provide; else, no need. Nowadays, freshers are claiming they gained knowledge through YouTube!
Your current experience is real. If a technical test is given, you will be able to perform. Then why worry?
But keep this as the last excuse. I never recommend shortcuts/unethical practices. But as a post-remedy, suggested you.

Hello Lakshmi Narayan,
If I present that I worked as a freelancer, will the next employer assume that I joined my current organization with that freelancing experience? However, my current organization does not consider freelancing as experience. Is there a chance that the next employer will investigate or ask about my freelancing experience at my current organization to verify if the freelancing experience is real or not?

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply contains incorrect information. Freelancing experience can be considered valid experience, and it is up to the employer's discretion. There is no requirement for an employer to verify freelancing experience with the current organization.

Hi,
Normally, background verification (BGV) with a past employer will be limited to your tenure with that company only. How can a previous employer certify or comment on an employee's past experience details? However, a new employer might conduct a BGV with the contact person provided by you who offered you freelancing work.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The previous employer can indeed be asked about the past work experience of an employee during a background verification. It is essential to be truthful about past experience to avoid any discrepancies during checks.

Hi Lakshmi Narayan,
Do I need to include my freelancing experience on my resume during the interview? Or should I stick to showcasing my 2 years of real experience on the resume and only mention freelancing if asked about the career gap before my current job?

Hi Lakshmi Narayan,
Few folks are saying that MNCs don't consider informal work experience as valid experience. In that case, can I inform them that I have over 4 years of overall experience, but only 2 years of relevant full-time work experience in my current company? Prior to that, I have freelancing experience that was not full-time and is not relevant. Should I apply to jobs that require only 2 years of experience?
Thank you.

Hi,
Experience is experience, whether formal or informal. What counts is your ability to perform the work effectively in reality. So, whether you show 2 or 4 years of experience, ultimately, how efficiently you do the work will be evaluated. If you are lacking in experience, you should be prepared to be flexible and potentially accept a slightly lower salary as well.

Thanks, Lakshmi Narayan,
Currently, I am not concerned about salary. The only thing is, I want to remove the fake experience I presented to my current organization in the past and replace it with informal freelancing experience. However, many companies do not consider informal freelancing as valid experience due to the lack of formal documentation.
I am considering including it on my resume but not labeling it as relevant work experience. Do you think there is a risk of failing background verification because of this informal freelancing experience? What are your thoughts?

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The inclusion of informal freelancing experience without formal documentation may not be advisable. Background verification could fail if there is no substantial proof. It's crucial to ensure all experiences listed can be verified.

Hi You claim that you are going to project it as non relevant experience. Then why to worry about BGV. In the absence of proper proof how employer will check?

Hello Prasad,
Do you have PF from that fake company? If you do, then it is impossible for you to remove it from your CV.
I would advise not to join a top organization like TCS or Accenture if you have fake experience anywhere in your work history. Now, coming back to your question, don't remove the fake experience. Continue with that. Tell them to support your new BGV.
Mostly, BGV happens via email or phone to HR. Nothing else. That you can manage.
But remember, try not to join an MNC in your life. Target only mid-level or startups as a senior engineer. That would be better for you.
Target companies that have branches in only one city. Usually, those are small companies. They only verify your last company.
