Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
Job hunting right now, two of the company's i put on my resume i never worked at :snoop: another i was an intern not an employee. also moved dates around to fill unemployment gaps.
:ehh:

For low-level shyt HR doesn't usually go through the trouble of verification.

Just make sure your references pick up

I may lie about a certification if its something I am planning on having by the time I get the job.

I'm in IT support.

During the interviews, I change the percentage of Windows and Mac devices at my last job depending on what the position I'm interviewing for calls for.

I also inflate the number of users that I support.

I have stuff listed as work experience that wasn't an actual job. Almost had a situation because of it. I was told whatever information I offer needs to be verifiable with legit documentation. So I had to leave that out for the background check. That said, everything on my resume was what I had actually done. But now since I landed this job I'm going to leave out the other stuff.

I don’t lie just finesse any experience I have to fit the scenario of the job requirement. Like if a brew was a janitor or some shyt he can say that it taught him to pay strict attention to detail or sum shyt. I’m also very realistic about my place in the job hunt so I’m not prolonging anything by being prideful.

I don't know why I have an uncanny feeling the US market will soon correct itself. A mini-recession is around the corner. :patrice:

I only got like 3 months worth of unemployment income saved up. I'll need to bump that up to 6.

Thank the Lord I got Nigeria as a fall back option.
