I just don't see any alternatives at this time that don't involve some kind of deception. Even volunteering to build references and waiting for the DRS just doesn't seem like it will be enough.
I would be more than willing to sell out my integrity to the highest bidder if necessary. I just don't want to go down that route if I don't absolutely have to.

I am just saying to be very careful how you do it. Because if there are holes that are questionable, it will be noticed. I'll also say that not all hiring managers scrutinize as much as I do. Some people see a great resume and don't ask any questions.
Many HR managers do, as I do, check to make sure you actually worked at the place you say you worked and that your job was what you said it was. We do check your references and ask the nature of the relationship you had with that person. If your job doesn't require a background check, then maybe it's fakable, but when the background check comes back, there are going to be questions between it and the story you made up on your resume.
I'm just warning you of what could happen if you do that. I also don't agree with it personally. But it's your life, you will do what you are going to do.
