Damn it, I got a new job but I was an idiot and was honest about what my previous salary was 😭😭 and the result was the new job gave me a low ball salary but I took it cause I was desperate.. lesson learnt, will inflate my job title/salary next time 😩

I think one of the best quotes is ... “If companies can lie about how awesome the job is, then the least we can do as applicants is lie about how qualified we are to do it.”

[stevez]

honesty is not the best policy... "oh you're unemployed? I see no reason to hire you then"

[always_on_ten]

Is that lying ? Yes
Does it matter ? No
Does your employer care about you ? No
Should you care about them ? No.
It's just a job.

There's a great story about my 4th great grandfather where he was looking to get a job in order to move halfway across the country. He found a job opening making trunks. The only problem was that he had no idea how to make one so he told the guy "I know how to make a trunk but I'm curious how _you_ make them". And then he just did exactly what the guy showed him.

Hired on as a subordinate but did 80% of my bosses job🤔. So guess what position’s going in my resume🤨👍😉

Saw a job posting that claimed the salary was 80k a year. Drove an hour away in a storm because it seemed like a good opportunity but then they said it was 40k was the best they could do lol.

This reminds me of when I took a class that helped with resume writing, and the professor told us upfront that if we didn't have any job experience, we should put any major class projects in the experience section and make it look as good as a real job. I'm pretty sure it's because of him that I got a high-paying job with 0 job or internship experience, what a legend.

Employer: Cheats
Me: Does the same
Employer: *surpriced pikachu face*

Lie about everything. They won't check and if they do you don't lose out on anything. Play dirty.

[CommandoMaster]

They say "If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying". You will only get ahead in life if you bend the rules and do whatever it takes to get that job.

[owacs_ender]

"Job gaps? Oh let's continue that trend"

I would not be surprised if an employer actually said this at some point...

You don't have to lie on your resume when you're the CEO of LinkedIn, brah.

[YKillerSPOOBLY]

Lie. Lie, lie, lie. So long as you can actually do the job, it's fine.I have bent the truth and outright lied to get every job I've ever had. All that matters is the work you do. Put yourself first.

[RasmusFrederiksen]

Something I think that's worth mentioning, is that even though it says "requirements", it's really more like a wishlist, a wishlist of what the hiring manager at that time thinks is the perfect candidate, and as with wishes, they change.
Sometimes easily, but especially with motivation from an interview.

Honesty is seen as weakness, a vulnerability that can be used against you.

[jemmaw]

I told some astonishing lies on my CV, like that I managed budgets, managed people and was responsible for managing 3rd parties. I am in my new role and doing super well as a result and earning ~£7, 500 more than the "honest" people!

[refocusedadhd]

I've started to use your advice a couple of weeks ago and I've started seeing an uptick in interest. I'm horribly guilty of Honest Abe syndrome and it's hurt me many times as they get some sort of preconceived judgement that doesn't reflect reality. It's not till I speak to someone that it makes sense. So I'm going to further make my personal advertisement (resume) slicker

[pierelouis]

Thank you, I needed this. I was being too honest and wide eye. I spent over a month looking for a job with no luck . I'm editing my resume right now and giving myself a better chance

I found a job. A better paying one too. Thank you Joshua; honesty is not always the best policy

[Fiveleafclover]

It is as another YouTuber says: "A resume is a not confession."
