kamiikitkat's journey

I recently turned 20 and have had a total of four jobs: a farm hand for a year, a car detailer for four months, a warehouse worker for six months, and a fast food employee for four months. However, I've faced significant gaps in my employment history. The first gap occurred when school resumed after COVID, the second was due to my mother's illness, and the other two gaps were a result of my own health struggles after being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I started working in fast food hoping it would be manageable during my treatments, but unfortunately, that didn't work out. I haven't been employed since April 2025, and now that I've successfully battled cancer, I'm finding it extremely difficult to get callbacks or even have my resume considered. I'm at a crossroads and wondering if I should lie about my employment dates to make my resume look better, or if I should omit my work experience entirely. I could really use some advice on how to navigate this situation.
