Does anyone have any experience with lying about having a degree? Thinking about lying about having a degree to get my foot in the door. The worst that could happen is I don't get hired.

>> No.50628369

What you should do instead is take three classes into your degree and put your school on the resume without the graduation date.

The worst thing that can happen is getting blacklisted for your field. Some particularly jewish employers actually tell other businesses not to hire you because you lied, even if you were qualified

>> No.50628486

>>50628390
This. The entire industry might hear about you and your name gets permanently blacklisted. HRs all over the industry will automatically dump your CV/Resume. If you do get hired, they will eventually find out that you lied and will terminate you with immediate effect and then HR will notify other HRs about you.

You're going to get old. Your body is going to develop pains, your hair will grey, nobody will think anything of you other than you are a burden and you will eventually die.

My mother’s workplace had an accountant who had faked his degree. They only found out about it because the guy fucked up everything and they did a background check. I don’t think faking a degree will work at a large company that does these checks however.

This isn't true lmao.

Companies don't have a shared register where they blacklist employees.

Unless you work in an extremely niche field where they may discuss it at some point (even then is extremely unlikely) they would never find out.

Even if you lied to one company and they found out (which is pretty much impossible), if they saw you working at a competitor do you really think they'd let the other company know?

Plus how are they going to find out you lied? Even if they ask for proof (I've never seen it happen in filling 300+ vacancies) just ignore them and move on.

I'm heavily considering this. I am 31, I make $19 per hour, I graduated from college 9 years ago with a political science degree. I am legit going insane as the world passes me by. I work 40 hours a week just to pay rent and buy food, I have no money left for anything else.

What could I lie about on my resume that would allow me to get a good paying job without technical skills like computer programming? I see these random bitches doing these cushy marketing jobs, I see people getting paid 6 figures to be "consultants". There's got to be something I can do

>>50629092

This is based anon. I am tempted to try something like this, but I don't have a hobby with computer programming. I know HTML and stuff, but programming always seems so extreme daunting. I remember building databases in Microsoft Access in high school and that was so fucking complex, and that wasn't even really programming.

I just want to earn enough money to be able to buy a house and a new car at some point. I even tried to apply for a promotion at my job and my boss wouldn't even allow me to apply. I'm going insane

I'm thinking about taking all 10k I have saved up and going on a road trip and trying to make viral videos where I get kicked out of restaurants for smoking, but I don't know how I'd monetize that

Yes,
I've done it for 5 years now & currently work a nice tech job for 1 of the top 5 companies by market cap.

I suggest lying about your degree only if you're confident & already have the knowledge & skills to perform your job, also it has to be a job where the degree is not really needed.
I believe lying to get into something like law or medical probably would not work.

You left the most important part to the end. Nobody gives a fuck about your ACT score you fucking autist.

You want money? Ok. Other people have money. You get it from them. Who are other people? On average, they’re NPC retards. So you need to come up with some schtick that separates NPC retards from their money to the tune of 400k a year or whatever.

Sounds like a 19 ACT Stacy is way better suited to doing that than some basement dwelling autist. You have to understand that SELLING to normies requires you to think and communicate like one.

Why are you lying? Employers can only get records from schools with the consent of the applicant. Also, submitting an application and agreeing to a background check isn't consent.

You should go into management. Even without experience and just a degree, you'll get hired. You don't need to be socially gifted just have good record keeping and report the things that need to be reported. It's better than stagnating at the same place, but you'll go deeper into the rat race.

I bet you can take this further. You can easily make a website of a fake company in whatever field you're applying for. Make an email, google voice phone number, etc.
Imagine if you completely skipped the $75k + 4-5 year degree, and spent a 1 year learning whatever, say, finance or software. Fake your experience at fake company with your fake degree. Odds are you're going to get hired somewhere without having had to jump through all the hoops.
