I’m pretty sure tech is the one field you shouldn’t lie
Why not? If you lying about shyt you can do and have talking points on, they will have no reason to suspect you lying. They will not do an investigation on your certs lol. If you put some shyt on your resume and they call you, they believed you. If they hire you after the interview, they believed you. If you need to produce a certificate or some shyt, just photoshop it. It will be a formality; they already believe you, they don’t suspect you are lying.
You lie about shyt you can do or can learn quickly. One thing about it, don’t even lie about shyt if you don’t have no confidence lol. Who smarter? Them or you? I always feel like me. Then if you wanna get more risky with it, that’s on you, but you can’t just play it all the way straight and come up like that. Typically that’s not how it works. Your path to success can be much quicker. Me personally, I’d tell them folks anything. Even if you fake a job, 9/10 the HR department will tell you to provide proof if they can’t verify it. That’s where your photoshop skills come in. Pro Tip: Get Adobe Acrobat Pro. It’s a great tool
