I completed my master's abroad, and it was the start of a recession when I came back to India. I was struggling to get a job without any experience. Then, I started working as a trainer for Java in a training institute. They used to pay me in cash based on the batch, so I was not given any salary slip. I don't even have an appointment letter from them. I worked as a trainer for more than 2 years, and then I got placed in an MNC where I worked for 4 years. At that time, I didn't receive any relieving letter or experience letter, but I was given a reference by my manager through phone and email.
Now, I am trying to switch jobs, and I don't have any proof of that work experience. If I don't mention that experience in my CV, I have a gap of 3 years after my graduation. I tried to contact the institute to obtain any kind of letter, but unfortunately, the management has changed, and there are no people I worked with there. The new management refuses to provide me with an experience letter as well. One of my HR friends suggested that I include it on my CV and explain the situation to the new company's HR team.
Could someone help me with what I can do in this situation?
