I have kind of a lovely employment and work history but I'm also in need of a job at the moment. I'm thinking of applying to some upper management positions at lovely companies that I know have poo poo employee practices like JCPenneys or Ross or Sears or something.

The thing is, I have absolutely no experience in any of the kind of positions I would be applying for, and I never finished my degree at a fairly prestigious local university.

If I were to fudge my application, say that I had finished my degree a decade ago and been working fake jobs ever since, is there any chance I could land myself a bullshit job at one of those companies -- and in the worst case scenario what kind of backlash would I be looking at for lying?

Our stupid HR does minimal background diligence, I’ve hired some crazy loving people. If they were able to suppress the crazy they’d still likely have jobs.

Lying about work experience is the whole premise behind this post.

I have plenty of people who will answer the phone and say I worked for them even though I never did. How thorough do I need to be on a "work experience" check?

Listen to me Jesus. Nothing bad will happen to you. There is literally no downside to lying on your resume. If you are confident that you can do the work, actually gently caress it, even if you are NOT confident that you can do the work you still should lie and then fake it till you make it. You absolutely MUST lie on your resume. And don't go small like, padding years or using flowery language. No. Make up whole stretches of high level work and degrees you don't have. Go big, JC. Trust me.

I got fired from like 4 jobs in my 20s and always lied about the reason I left when interviewing at other places. No one ever called me on it. Most companies are only willing to confirm employment and won't give any details for fear of being sued for defamation in case they gently caress up.

My last resume was at LEAST 80% lies and I got the job that required a CS degree and 5 years of experience.

I don't even have a degree and now I get to boss people around. Lmao if you spent a shitload of money and time on college.

Jeez, try this, lie in your resume but then ask around A/T for details. Like, if you’re lying about being a computational biologist, post a thread in the science sub like “haha I know were al scientists wouldn’t it be funny if we all posted the work experience portions of our resumes for laughs”

lie your way into a job, and then after a few months use your current job as evidence to get into your next job. repeat one or two times and then you'll have a "real" resume and won't have to worry about being found out!


you could also gin up a bullshit website for a fake startup and have a friend agree to take calls/emails at the contact info listed on the website.

could also try and dig up the name of a local company that went bankrupt within the last few years, and then claim them on your resume

It's the latest wheeze, argal. Bunky Watson got a job as a manager in the menswear argal department at a Sears. Really livened up the internal competition thing they have by tossing firecrackers into the heavy appliances department. Argal.
