:ehh:

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

Just make sure your references pick up
My wife does HR and she says they have a system that can verify whether or not you worked at a place. Also they have access to see if you lied about your salary by pulling your tax info.

Horseshyt. No way they are going to pull your tax info.

This is all just boggieman talk to scare people to shape up. HR is filled with the most incompetent fukk ups on the face of the planet.

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high

Yeah it's probably got something to do with when they pull your credit...cause jobs ask for that now.

They can also check your background and previous employment but the employment part isn't 100% accurate with the dates and doesn't show your position with the company. It itself has some gaps

Edit: if they have some tax irs software, it's bad it's pretty accurate. They definitely see where you worked...but still, don't know your actual position

Man I have the blackest name ever, of course I am lying :francis:. These people want to much for a basic job.
Nothing to big though, maybe a 1-2 month increase in experience or putting down basic skills that I can learn pretty fast.

I would not lie saying I have a degree or certs when I don't have one though lol, that is too much.

Since I'm in college I actually put down the degree I am shooting for and put "-In Progress" next to it :obama:

Web design ? Do you have any examples online ?
Honestly I don’t even know how to start. I figure I just make some websites or redesign some popular companies sites just for examples and then present three and get paid? I know how to design and such I need to learn how to make money off it. They never told us in highschool and web design classes that we could turn it into a career.

I like to used the term “exaggerate”. Never “lie” on a resume.

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.

You could start with Ubuntu, Apache and Wordpress at home. If you do that and then buzz me I can show you how to get them online
