resume for you us nikkas
just don't lie. putting a positive spin or selling yourself is not lying or even stretching. if your time is worth something, you should be intelligent enough to explain why.

fukk that noise... Thats some "may the odds be ever in your favor" type shyt ... The game is already rigged as fukk, do whatever you gotta do to get in, then let your work speak for itself.
yeah, uh, maybe...but lying on your resume can get you blackballed from an entire profession. if the game is rigged then what reason do you have to lie? I'm not saying you should list stuff that will make you look bad but if you are going to spend time/money/energy into pursuing a certain career path only to lie on a resume, you're taking a huge gamble. if you really don't know how to prepare a resume, then hire someone to help you.

I'm not saying you should spell red b l u e. Just saying that where you can get away with it, if it's more likely to land you the job then by all means go for it.

My GPA is always a few points higher than it actually is not like its shabby in the first place. Also I stretch my list of disabities. I don't really have any but how the fukk would they be able to prove I don't or know?
Im too afraid to stretch truth on my resume, although ive known people that have lied throughout their whole resume and got some good paying jobs doing so.

You job hunting?bump
In the past, I adjusted my previous job titles based on what I'm applying to. And I've listed skills that I'm not very skilled in (without stating that I'm a beginner).
I stretched like a mf on my resume. I put a job I only apprenticed at for 6 months as a 2 year job.bump
Company moved outta state . Been job hunting since April I’ve never been pressed about it and it’s led to several interview in the last several weeks. Waiting to hear back from them soon
Don’t put something unrealistic on your resume, like you were cum laude at a tough school or Project Manager at a well known company and you just got out of college
Unless you’re trying to get in with a huge company or the feds nobody is going to press you on your employment history.

Always lie on those muhfukkas. Just don't write unrealistic shyt, but you gotta lie about your experience and generic skills to secure the bag...
