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

[Freedman]

Why would someone download a word file knowing all the things that could be hidden in it? I imagine people want to see the layout and the text. They can view that without taking files outside of the browser sandbox. You the ultimate hustler should be aware of this difference right? You could even make it editable online (google docs for example) so they don't have to download it to their local drive. Let google take the risk.

That's why I'm calling no. Missing simple angles of attack like this is not the work of a hustle master.

I would very rarely (if ever) download a word file from someone I didn't know personally and even then never to my own drive.

It’s just a png file of a sample resume like OP said

Im pretty sure OP is committing a felony but yall go head

I don't think OP is lying. Finessing is a way of life in the corporate world, it's always been done.

My brother went to one of the top business schools in the country for his MBA. The thing he learned there with the most value was counselors and professors teaching students how to finesse interviewers, and beef up the resume like crazy. A counselor would literally look at a bullet point on my bro's resume and say "add at the end 'which saved the company $500,000'" Now my bro has a dream job in Silicon Valley making bank (yes, going to a school like that helped), but it's all part of the game. Embellish the fukk out of your resume, and at least learn some shyt where you could speak knowledgeably on the subject and you are on your way brehs

I work in a top silicon valley adtech company and I interact with Tableau daily,not to mention we hire some of the smartest data scientists, engineers from top universities, from google, from facebook, etc, and I still find what you do to be extremely hard to believe. I'm not a hater, I wish people to do the best, I've helped placed people in companies, but I don't want people to think they can completely make shyt up and get a high paying jobs, without at least getting caught.

I can literally talk tableau, data visualization, salesforce, crm, cognos, datarama, APIs, all day long and I have a very very hard time believing that tableau is a 200k skill, it's more of a 50k skill that any junior analyst should have.
Also, media mix modeling cannot be done with tableau, that's baby stuff. Tableau cannot handle something as complex as MMM. I literally done this myself for a major agency 3 years ago with an entire team of data scientists with PHDs and even the PHDs did not earn 200K. I guess things changed, more power to you.

You can download the student version of tableu for free and learn to use it in one month. I had to learn to use it when I got my MBA. It only takes a month to learn how to use at most. Nobody's paying 200k for tableu skills.

Props for the lookout @DirtyMoney

Get it how you live

My advice is that if you're interested in data, major in data science and you'll get six figures easily. And if you have people skills along with it, even better.
Look up the eng jobs at top companies and you can get an idea of the actual skills needed to succeed which doesn't include lying through your teeth.

I went to a top 3 business school and that shyt is so true. Funny thing about saying "I did ___ to improve productivity by __ , saving the company ____ in recurring expenses" is that as long as it's in the realm of possibility, there's no way for an employer to verify it.

Seriously, they can't call up your old employer and ask. Worst they'll do is ask you how it was calculated if you're interviewing for a similar industry. If you're in a different industry they don't even have a clue of how probe further.

Like I said tho, it has to be somewhat realistic.

find a friend who can give you good feedback and practice, practice, PRACTICE. some people are born with it but it's not something that can't be learned.

FYI... your biggest weakness should be a pivot of your greatest strength. for example, if your strength is that you're really good at collaborating and working with all types of people and building consensus then your weakness answer would be "Because of this, I believe my biggest weakness is that sometimes I can be TOO compromising, putting my needs below the needs of everyone else" or something like that.

it's BS but it sounds good.
the funny thing about all of this "finessing" is that it's actually pretty sound career advice.​

Thanks a lot, that "weakness" really helped. I wouldnt have thought about it in that way. yeah I'm gonna practice like crazy till I master the art of finessing.

$240k bro
You keep talking solely about tableau.
Tableau is one tool I use to analyse data sets. I actually can't even use it well, I pay people to do my work.
I just came across ValueMyCV | Adzuna which shows you how much your resume is wroth based off keywords in your CV.

Didn't read the whole thread so if you have more information than I do on this specific topic, but lying on your resume isn't illegal unless you say "I graduated from such and such school with such and such credential"

Saying "I'm proficient in XYZ" isn't illegal. It's unproven so there is no way for them to verify it. I can be "proficient" in my ABCs and then make a mistake at a job and they decide not to hire me. OR I can not be proficient and the job never checks, so they hire me. Fluffing your resume isn't a crime. Lying about a specific certification that is verifiable is a crime.

I swear I should do this. My current company has put me in a spot where I do manager work and get paid $100K, but my title is analyst. No matter what I do them crackas would rather me leave the company than give me the title i've earned. They playing games and have hurt themselves just to subjugate me.

So I'm looking elsewhere but most manager jobs are looking for people that have real managerial experience, and not the typical "I've indirectly led people" shyt that even entry level people use. I'm willing to settle for an analyst role if I get comped what I'm making now, but ain't too many analyst roles out there making $100K. So, at this point I'm just contemplating putting manager on my resume because it fits the actual work that I've been doing for the last couple years.

If ur doing manager work, put it on your resume. You are doing the tasks to back it up anyways
