No need to lie like that as I know all technologies, systems and programming languages.
How much do you lie on your resume?

Lies!
Right?
I lie about how much I made all the time.
I was lowballed hard for my first IT job (14/hr)
New job is contracted to another company for 6-8 months.
$20/hr which is sad, because my previous company wouldn't even match it
That is still low for my area too

1.An employer can't pull your tax information, the employee would need to fill out a IRS form 4506 T
2. " she says they have a system that can verify whether or not you worked at a place " this isn't 100% I use to work at a Hospital and I know for a fact my information isn't on that system, One background investigation company tried to get me sign some release of information so they could get my detailed information from the Hospital. I have worked temp services that are no longer in business, You must realize that companies can't give 3rd parties your information. that's why most jobs ask for a W-2 and pay stub if that can't verify information.
3. Now if you apply for a federal/Gov position im sure they can retrieve your Tax information and more.

lazy fba philly nikka,
All the time. This one of those parts of life where "dark successful truths" are ignored and being "honest" gets you jack shyt. It's a mind fukk -- people tell you not to lie, while they lie and have less competition.
Dark Truths :The point of a resume is to get an interview. Period. It's not the time to be modest, cute or an angel. It's too much competition out here, and nikkas acting like they aint got bills piling up, smh. Nikkas are too timid when it comes to finessing these cacs out here. God forbid you have a "ghetto" name and average exp. You nigs need to step your gift of gab up and be lying your ass off.
Straight up, you're a dumbass if you don't lie on your resume. Everybody lies, the problem is everyone can't back it up, sell themselves or give "validity" to their lies with stories in interviews. Obviously, you don't lie about shyt like knowing complex software, operating special equipment, or things that you really need a college education or intense study to know. You also don't lie about having a degree.
Instead, you be vague about your "flaws." For example. if you attended college but didn't graduate, lead with your embellished experience, put your college and your major on your res, but you don't list dates (so they cant guess how old you are or how much work youve completed) Nah, you let them ASSUME shyt. Last two gigs I had, they assumed that I had my degree, but I never said I did. When I got the interview, it was a wrap for the other candidates cuz my ability to sell my skills made them forget all about college. I anticipated all of their questions. That's what you want, to put shyt on paper to get you in the door so you can spit that hot fire and disarm cac.
Also, assuming you're paying attention at work and not just on the coli all day, you interact with multiple "superiors" on a daily basis. All you do to take your res to another level is take their responsibilities and put that shyt on your resume with a slightly tweaked title. Don't know how to describe your responsibilities in a powerful way? Go on linkedin and jack some cac's resume from a different state. Paraphrase. Practice telling stories about how you did the shyt. Boom.
You lie about shyt that you can easily figure out once you're exposed to it or is just common sense. shyt like jobs that don't really require a degree to know how to do. You wouldn't lie your way into an accounting role for ex, but you would for typical office work. Look around corporate america offices. All of the managers, project managers, analysts, coordinators, etc. These are some dumb ass cacs, with degrees in shyt like art history. Anybody can do that shyt. Lie. If you've been unemployed for months, guess what? You're still working at your current job, "looking for a new experience." Play the game, dont play yourself.
The biggest thing I discovered about applying for gigs is that these descriptions be BS and full of lies. You got cacs in roles "requiring 7 years manager of exp" and "expert microsoft excel skills" who worked at subway the month before, no lie. Your ever look at someone's resume on linked in and saw that they had some bs retail role and the next job was a manager at a respectable company? They faked it till they made it.
If you're unemployed and/or your unemployment payments are coming to an end, turn the shyt of to 11. what do you have to lose? Get your friends to act as managers if they ask for references/#s for employment verificiation.

lazy fba philly nikka,
Back in the day, pre 2011 ish, someone from HR would just call your school and tell them that they need to verify your degree. The school will straight up tell them. I called my college and asked them what they could reveal when I was worried about getting caught the one time I lied about my degree. She told me they can tell me everything, from the major I had to the amount of credits I completed. These same HR people would also ask you for references ( smart nikkas gave their friends) to verify your employment. Some super sleuth nikkas would just google the company and call themselves, a small percentage tho.
Nowadays, the majority of companies use third party services ( hireright, jdp, aurico, etc) to check your criminal history, education, employment history. They email you a background check link ( the most popular is TaxWorks' instascreen) so you can fill out your information before they do it. Here's an example of everything these services do to verify your shyt :
There's no way to get around a criminal background check, but education/employment... there's a possibility that they don't even check. The above link explains why at 3:57.

I won't put anything on my resume that I can't speak to. I won't lie but I'll dress up the most mundane, pointless responsibilities as key experience in my previous employment. I also try to hit as many key words in my resume as possible.

Does anybody lie about years of experience. Im taking a php course on udemy and when Im done I want to say I have a couple yrs experience plus took a course.
This is truth. Every time I went for an interview they ASSUMED I was still working at my previous job. Even though I put down on my resume I left that month
Great post.

I'm actually looking to go from Mechanical Engineering to software engineering. I don't have the money for a cert but I plan on learning on my own. I think I just need to make something or build a portfolio. We shall see.
You don't need certs for software development. A solid portfolio will get you in the door. Your mathematical background should help.

That's the plan man. It's not that I can't do it I just don't know where to begin. I'm probably gonna run through some courses and go from there.
