Including Work Experience in Government Attestation Forms
I have worked in a private company for one year and resigned, but they did not accept my resignation. In the meantime, I joined another company and worked for a few months before leaving. I then took a government exam, which requires me to mention any work experience. While work experience is not mandatory, should I still include it in my government attestation form?
If I choose to include it, they are also asking for certified copies. However, I did not obtain relieving letters from my previous two employers. Would there be any issues with my new government employer if I omit my work experience? Alternatively, can I mention my work experience and submit the joining letters from my earlier employers? Your valuable information or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Government Job Requirements
To my knowledge, previous work experience is generally not a necessary requirement for government jobs unless it is specifically asked for. By "government job," I mean only those entry-level positions whose recruitment falls within the purview of State Recruitment Bodies such as the UPSC, State PSCs, etc.
Therefore, if a candidate chooses not to mention their previous employment experience in the private sector, as long as it is not tainted with any criminal offenses, they can do so. However, they should be able to explain the gap between the completion of their studies and applying for the current job in a convincing manner.
