I think when you fill out your resume, you might as well tell the truth and write truthfully. I think at least you can prove to others that our character is honest.
I remember a TV series "Hunting Field" starring Hugh. The hero he played also made mistakes and had a terrible history. When filling out his resume, he also fantasized about trying to smooth it out. As a result, after being found cheating, he was fired directly, but the chairman taught him a lesson and told him that the most terrible thing for a person is not some past experiences. The most terrible thing is that he has no honest heart. So, I think you can let the employer hire you. What attracts them most is that you have an honest heart.
