So if you’re keeping off any jobs that you’ve worked at for less than 2 years, does that mean you lie about dates to cover up the gaps?

I wouldn’t lie about dates. If they end up speaking to that company, it wouldn’t be surprising for them to be mentioned. The second they find you lying about information, they’ll pass on you as a candidate

  Right, so leaving jobs off your resume is probably not a good idea. Year-long gaps in your employment history will get you passed on, as well.

    Sorry, I misread your original comment as an actual question about whether or not one should fudge dates
