I’ve been out of work since last year, and I need to create a company so I can list on my resume, just so I can show recruiters I’ve done things.

google search companies that went out of business recently

can’t follow up on what no longer exists. ideally you want something close enough to be believable but not so close that you accidentally overlap with the social circles the former business may have run in.

Could maybe say that you’ve been self employed depending on what kind of work you do.

They can’t ask about the products but they’re still gonna expect you to answer skills-based questions lol. If you say you worked for “cyber security at a government contractor” but you don’t know what egress filters are, then you’re probably gonna be cooked

It costs $100-$200 roughly and you can be your very own CEO of an LLC. You don’t need to actually do anything with it but you can put it on your resume if you’re worried about a gap.

Also you can call yourself bourgeois and excuse it by being a class traitor lol

Merely having “owner” next to your name and being registered with business bureaus doesn’t mean you you have any means of production

Shh we’re playing pretend.

Also if we want it to be technically real you could just open a lemonade stand for 2 hours and now you’re a prettye bourgeois tyrant.
