Hello all, I'm back to the job market. AGAIN.

Recently I've really being thinking what to put as my YOE on my resume. For my age, I should've had 6 years of experiences already. But my career wasn't the smoothest.

I have four 3-months experiences, a 1-year experience, a 1.8-year experience, and a 2-year professional experience in unemployment.

During my unemployment time, I spend most time applying to jobs and working on my own side projects, mostly alone. Should these experiences count towards my YOE on resume?

I've applied to jobs that requires 3-5 years of experiences. Now I'm getting recruiter calls from jobs that requires 5+ years of experiences. Do I fake it til I make it?

I work in tech btw if that makes any differences.
