Is it worth lying on your resume these days?

I started writing software in highschool so while I claimed to be senior level I was more like mid level engineer. Aim for the next step, not huge jumps and they can't really tell the difference. you were an intern but no one really trained you much? then tell them you were a part time engineer and all the things you had to do by your own merit. You call the shots here and there? tell them you had a technical leadership role and bullshit about how you directed the team on some tech.

this is pretty much how you do it, stretch dates and really make it sound like you had responsibility for things or made impacts which can be tied to dollar amounts, obviously the best thing you can do is say "i did a thing that made us $X" but more likely you will be able to claim something "saved us x% space" or "x% CPU average load" I would just pull numbers out of my ass and put them on there from things I did in the past if you can really wing it in the interview and get them to believe it is true.

One of the other benefits I've had other than prior experience was just reading stuff online about latest trendy whatever, and messing around with it just because I'm interested, then you can claim to be an expert in specific things and bullshit about them for a few minutes to people.

All that said if you have 0 experience you need to grind from the bottom a bit just like everyone else.

the problem with the "perfect" resume is that there is an undertone of honesty to the matter which is not helpful when hordes of indian are extremely dishonest about their experiences and show up completely unknowledgeable in whatever the hell they put on their resume. then yours is the only one that gets thrown in the trash and a bunch of designated get a chance at a position you were probably more qualified for. These people will get kicked out of the country if they don't get a job they'd probably kill you for it if they could get away with it.

no one at a university even understands this or is willing to help you figure out how to navigate this because everyone there has their heads so far up their asses they believe in idealized worlds where people are 100% honest and don't take advantage in these ways.

your experience with acting humble and honest signals to whoever you are interviewing with that you aren't bullshiting them which is something that they probably try and avoid but stretching things that are reasonable to stretch is always going to work in your favor at the time they pick resumes.

Exactly the same here. Just left my GPA off and its never come up

I also started writing software in highschool. The thing is though; I'm rusty as fuck. I have barely programmed at all during the last year due to taking mostly economics courses. I hope people won't think I'm a fraud if I struggle a bit in the beginning.

Stretch truth but dont lie cuz they can always verify stuff

literally just finished an interview today and got a good job in finance. Always look the part, people judge on how you look. Get a good suit, haircut and watch(at least 100 dollar watch or more if you can afford it). It helps alot.

Lying is only good if you're clever enough to pull it off.

Grammar and spelling also help.

caring about grammar on a chink board

hows it feel to be autistic?

If basic grammar and spelling aren't automatic and effortless you're either a child or a mental midget.

This honestly helps imo. I was a graduate assistant when I was getting my master's degree so I had to teach undergrad faggots basic econ. I would just show up in jeans the first few days then realized no one respected or listened to me. Then suit every day for the next two semesters. Or at least collar shirt and dress pants. Haircut too. I had long hair but RIP cut that shit off for a faggot undercut.

Depends, user. If it's something small like on your references it's not a big deal. Just make sure your stories line up perfectly. Something big like having a degree when you don't is a guaranteed job loss, unless the company you work for doesn't give a shit. A personal story:

>be user's aunt in 1990
>be a hair dresser that landed a banking job
>lied about credentials and degree on resume
>worked for a few years and moved up to a manager position
>Early 2000s hit and company decides to check every employee, probably due to new technology
>user's aunt gets fired for lying on her resume

Never know what kind of technology is going to emerge in 10 years that they'll catch you with. It's happened before, it'll happen again. But she did land a job at an insurance company and got promoted to VP shortly after. So maybe it worked out in the long run?

Lying on your resume is only a good idea if you lie to get some experience in a job. And hope you don't get caught.

Case in point:
Get fired from Company A
Apply to Company B and lie.
Apply to Company C and don't lie.
Now you are at Company C with no fears.
Only your time at Company B is risky.

Good story. There was recently a case of a Federal employee getting shit-canned after 20 years on the job for lying on his resume.

Yeah. That's the plan. Anything else is too risky.
