Hello, I have some queries regarding my resume. I completed my P.G in 2008. Since there was a recession at that time, and I was a fresher, it was tough to get a job. So, I decided to join a consultant who had just started his company. Since it was a new company, I used to receive payments in cash. I worked with him for almost 2 years, and when the market opened up in 2010, I got an opportunity to work in a good IT MNC.
Since then, I have worked with 4 MNCs where I didn't face any issues with my Background Verification (BGV). I had registered and verified my profile on NASSCOM NSDL, which includes the experience from my initial company as well. My total work experience is almost 12 years, including 2 years from my initial company. Recently, I found out that my initial company has closed down, and the person has moved to Canada.
I am thinking of switching my job but am concerned about my initial experience, as I have a valid experience/relieving letter, but I don't have any bank statements or Form 16. I have the following doubts:
1) Should I include the initial experience of 2 years in my resume, considering I have registered and verified my profile on NASSCOM NSDL which includes that experience? I have a valid experience/relieving letter, but no Form-16 or bank statements.
2) Or should I omit the initial 2 years of experience from my resume and explain the gap if asked during an interview?
3) Or should I exclude the initial experience and state that I was self-employed as a freelancer doing small assignments, even though I understand this might be seen as unethical, but it's the truth.
I would appreciate your guidance on this matter.
