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.
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
Don’t do that lol. Just say you were working at a local store or some shit. It would be more believable than some random company with no history on the internet or one that was registered 30 minutes before the interview.
Depending on what you’re applying to, you can say that you were originally hired to be a cashier but then transferred to xyz since you are the only one who knew how to do something. E.g. cashier -> internet fixer -> unofficial it -> formal transition to IT
