Has anybody here ever lied on their resume and still got the job?

[Dave24]

I’ve lied on pretty much every resume I’ve done or any application I filled out. It’s pretty standard imo, but when you get the interview you gotta know some basics.

I don’t care what I have to say or lie about to get a job honestly. I figure I’m not dumb and they are going to train me anyway, fukk it


And if you call me for an interview while I’m at work I’m going to put on a show. My current job called me while I was working my former job. I was in the parking lot, on break, sitting in my car.

I answered the phone and realized it was a job calling. I got out the car. I cut her off half way and told her I needed a second. I started pretending I was telling people what to do. I’m just standing in a parking lot giving out orders and telling nobody I’m going to step away for a break.

@Sir Richard Spirit what career/job do you currently have?

 

[chineebai]

Yes lie and embellish but not about job title and verifiable aspects like length of job.

 

[Wink Beaufield]

Don't lie about degrees and industry certs. They actually check that shyt.

 

[BigBlackSea]

All the fukkin time. I just make sure to know how to talk about whatever I put on my resume.

@Sir Richard Spirit what career/job do you currently have?

I work as an associate for Institutional Advancement at a museum. I was hired as a exhibit contractor with no experience and became a Volunteer Center Coordinator assistance no experience.



I 100% am going to direct this department when the Jews retire. This is with no degree and almost no experience in anything relevant to museums.

How did you get it without a degree or experience? Is the pay good?

All the time

Last couple jobs though I didn’t even have to interview or background check. The power of a good network

Luckily for me I actually got a cert but little to no work experience in relations to it.

My wife friend worked at the museum in housekeeping. She told me they were looking for someone to work on a contract to help build exhibits. I LIED about everything. I knew how to use a tape measure, but that was about it.

When my contract was expiring I was trying to get hired in house, but I had no interest in building shyt. I knew some people in guest relations and asked them about openings. They told me about the Volunteer Center Coordinator assistant spot. It wasn’t hard to get because I was friendly with them already.

When Covid hit there was no reason to have a Visitor Center. It was either unemployment or security or Institutional Advancement. I took a a job in Institutional Advancement. It was even easier because most people wanted unemployment.


I haven’t looked back since
