Resumes

Ok dudes, how much do you actually lie on your resume?

Or even stretch the truth a little bit?

Hiring manager here, when I get a stack of resumes I immediately throw half of them in the trash. I don't want unlucky people working for me.

Is lying illegal? I want to get some sort of customer service job, but no one will hire me since I dont have much. Could I make up experience somewhere or would that be illegal?

it's not illegal unless it's a federal job or malpractice.

So you can be cheeky all you want and not face repercussions except a lawsuit.

no, fluff that shit up. if you're going for a customer service job, the only thing you have to do is show up to the interview not looking like a slob and bumbling like a fucking autist.

If you're trying to work for a place where the determining factor is your resume you're probably better off looking elsewhere. I'd rather be top dog at a shitty start up than some nobody at a big name place because my hard work will actually be recognized and if there's not a lot of long term potential it'll be a good springboard.

That said, there's a lot you can do to make yourself look better on a resume. For instance, instead of saying that your hobby is jerking off to hentai, say that you study fine art.

As a pajeet I apply for coder jobs and say I'm a full stack developer and I know every language they want. They usually call me because Americans just don't have the skills they're looking for.

I knew a guy who's supervisor that was getting paid 200k+ to be a lead project manager for AI software, faked his entire credentials, and basically made it there for like half a year before they caught on (making 100k+) and then completely bailed.

You literally can't trust Pajeets.
