$200k+ with a fake resume [resume in OP]

[DirtyMoney]

The process:

1.Pick an industry
2.Find a role
3.Find a resume for someone in that role or their LinkedIn
4.Gain the experience they say they have or read about the roles they did and figure out which you can fake and learn on the job.
5.Get your foot in the door and work your ass off, if you fail. Start at 1

I don’t understand what $200k job you’re applying for that wouldn’t attempt to verify your supposed “experience” or “academic credentials” that you’re lying about on the resume.

What kind of jobs do you guys work?

I’m a consultant, some of these jobs/contracts move quick because the organisation doesn’t want all that red tape associated with hiring full time staff.

Also you missed the part where my resume had references that were my homies or me using an alternate number.

My academic qualifications are bachelor/undergrad. It’s not like I wrote Harvard. I’m just another average guy which lets me fly under the radar in my opinion. More than anything I’m personable and easygoing so i doubt I set off any alarms (back then).

It’s been a while since I had to blatantly lie as I’ve already put in the work

It could happen if u make it worth my while

If you are a good senior technical programmer they will sometimes just tech interview you and that will largely be it. They don't care so much about your qualifications at that stage of your career as much as they care about what you know. There are many many cases of tech wizards with no degree qualifications and so qualifications are routinely ranked under demonstrable skill. Grad entry / management track / milk round consultancy recruitment type positions are different and other professions like law/accounting etc are different. Technical / sales type careers where ability is primary and lack of ability becomes quickly evident are not as hung up on what you have done 'years ago' and are more focused on what extra-value-added contribution you can make TODAY.

A French/Iranian friend of mine left school at 17 and by 19 was running major tech projects at investment banks getting > 200K p/a as a consultant.

Honestly the job market right now is hard. For anyone without commercial achievements you gotta outwork people. Outnetwork them, study your field and be charming/personable in interviews.

Is your issue landing an interview or closing ?
Are you confident in your skills ?
Are you articulate ?

You don’t have to be special you just have to be resilient and persistent. However do you wanna start faking from the jump or go in legit ? It’s 2 diff paths and it ain’t for everyone

This. Degrees don't mean all that much.

As I said, a background check would verify your employment with said company. You ain't working a 200k for a legitimate business without that type of verification.

yeah my wife tells me they are doing background checks on EVERYTHING to verify employment history. I'm not sure how u get around that.

a lot of you guys are missing the scheme here... you don't finesse your entire career, you finesse the first step. i have done basically the same exact thing, but a little different


step 1. you oversell your way into a job. for me it was network engineering. for this guy, it was advertising.

this will be your hardest step... getting yourself a job, you do not deserve, and you're not qualified. you might have to flat out make shyt up.. you might just sprinkle a few lies in there.. you might do a lot of things.. but finesse that job



step 2. stay above water as long as you can. learn everything you can. network as much as you can.

you don't know when you're gonna be found out. might be never (me)... might be 4 months (OP).... but this step is most important




step 3. use the job you finessed, to get a better job..


you used to be liar... didn't know shyt about your job, lied to get in, blah blah blah... well after a few months, well now you have an official title in your field AND experience. now you're not lying in your next interviews. maybe about why you got fired, but that's if you got fired. you might be smart enough to last a year, bounce before you get caught, and be able to move up and out to another company




step 4. repeat step 3, unlimited amount of times, forever...



now you got the REAL jobs, real experience, and real money... enjoy.... nobody is going to check up on your 5th job ago... or the first job you ever lied to... the last job they check thinks you're great, and that's even if they check... cause they can clearly see that you been steady working in the field for 5-10 years now







i been in mine 4 now.... network engineer... nikka never took a computer class in my life... but 4 years experience, plenty of people to drop references, a great title, and they will never call up my first job..... which was working on installing cable (fiber optic inspector for network communications company) and ask them what i really did there

Before cats act like what breh sayin is impossible let me say my boy did something similar to this shyt to get deep into the logistics management game heavy with no degree or college and put his brother on in the same way

He started workin in warehouses, got a lead position, did that for a min and kept puttin out resumes for management positions, used his BM’s brother who had a legit small business as a reference, got into some place for minute then was learning the shyt legit until they fired his ass, used that experience to get in somewhere else for awhile and continued to pick up on the ins and outs of logistics, now this nikka is in corporate making big bread in a major logistics company y’all see all the time

Not sayin anything is true or false about what op is sayin but it’s definitely possible and takes the right set of circumstances with a little luck

Folks forget that this rat race BS is an invention of white folks. They don't even play by their own rules, I salute this.

I'm in IT already, but maybe I should finesse some experience

 

[Kumasi]

Op is correct. The higher the position the less scrutiny your resume and past gets. I have a college diploma yet im in mangement. I routinely interview MBA and other masters degree holders, lol.

 

[Leasy]

yeah my wife tells me they are doing background checks on EVERYTHING to verify employment history. I'm not sure how u get around that.

This is true for a promotion position at my job they asked for pictures and official transcript of the degrees I was like the fukk What is also crazy is that they make your references complete almost an interview .

 

[ImGucci]

I consult. You don’t. I’m on a day rate

Thats not the same thing then, you were probably on a contract basis. Probably on a 3-4 month project.

Theres no company paying 200k FULL TIME, with benefits, 401k to anyone whose not executive level at a big company.
I'm a Engineer, I'm guessing you were a project manager or something by the language you used earlier.

shyt Software Engineers ain't even making 200k yearly, unless you are writing frameworks from scratch at a big 3 company.

 

[dterpsss]

Initially 0 experience. I made a resume. I went to a few interviews and bombed. Then learnt what they were looking for. Got hired, then fired for not knowing shyt

I'm sure it will be a long time before they hire another person of color

Yeah contracts can pay some crazy money. I remember this one recruiter telling me the position paid $100/hr. I was like . I didn't have enough years experience for it, but the fact she even called me made me want to demand more.

I'm not IT, but I got hit up yesterday to do a contract job involving implementation of some kinda clinical system in a hospital. That said, they wanted to pay like $50 an hour and it wasn't that much more than what I make now when I get benefits and retirement at my full time gig.

I told them I wouldn't consider contact work unless we're talking around $60 an hour or more to make up for the benefits I won't be getting.
