There was some talk recently in r/Greece about cheating in online university exams started because some jackass professor was so fucking devastated that people did "well" on his class (42% passed which is much better than usual) that he had to whine about cheating to a major newspaper. For some reason this subject was deemed worthy of being published but whatever, I digress. There were some weird fucking nerds on reddit who were whining about how employers will avoid employing people who graduated around 2021 because they will know they may have cheated on some test. I can't believe there's people so naive, but then again it is reddit.
99% of jobs are achieved via the interview and what's on the CV is just about getting to the interview room. Nobody gives a shit about the year you graduated.
No you see employers will totally not hire anyone at all who graduated between the years 2021 and 2025 in the entire country because maybe they cheated once.
Companies on the bigger end will check which can be a problem.
Isn't the worst thing that can happen is they don't hire you or they fire you? Not like they can send you to prison about lying on a resume.
Some companies are sadistic and will put your name on some kind of blacklist and share it with similar companies
Two issues, some companies are way larger then you think so it leads to a blacklist situation or the lying gets stuck on the subcontractors report and that’s a small industry with lots of reuse.
Counterpoint I really don't want my doctor to have lied on their resume
Yes this advice doesn't apply to the 5% of real jobs that actually matter
Remember: if you lie hard enough and steal enough time, you can actually be paid 100% of the value of your labor!! Live the dream
Real talk, what’s the deal with degrees on a resume? Does nobody really check?
Would also like some genuine insight on this. Currently planning on lying about finishing my masters because it sounds much nicer to say I have one than to explain that I completed all the courses that would be relevant to the job and I just burnt out before finishing my thesis
Is the practical experience of writing a thesis not that important? Genuine question
Depends on the job you're applying for. My thesis wouldn't be relevant in the least for the work I'm doing. Employers would just want to see that I have knowledge of statistical analysis, not that I applied it to the sociology of disobedience
I did the same, except with a PhD. Thank heavens I have absolutely no interest in going into academia or working in anything else that degree would be useful for.
Does heavy embellishing count as a lie? That’s something you should probably do.
Resumes are not scientific papers, they're marketing material. Treat it as such. Don't make outright lies about stuff that can be objectively falsified but other than that your job is to present the best, most embellished version of reality.
I’ve heard some people suggest that you were taking care of an ailing relative. That or ubereats
I just stretch out the time I had at previous jobs so that there's less than a month gap.
As long as it's not beyond a year it'll be believable to employers that can't be bothered to ask more than "Did ____ work here?" and "Was ____ a good worker?", and hell some of them don't even bother calling in the first place.
How long are we talking and vaguely what type of work. I legitimately took a couple years to take care of a dying relative and companies busted my balls about it til covid "labor shortages" increased.
Any job if you fuck around hard enough. Go to bathroom, punch out for lunch, punch in from lunch, go to bathroom again. I used to work a graveyard shift at a grocery store that had like 2 hours of actual work. I would chill in the dark in the conference room and play my PSP, read, and take naps. I would make sure to pop out and do some work every hour or two so people would see me working.
The classic Virgin Walk vs. Chad Stride is very good because of the absurdity of it. The original joke was that the "virgin" displays very normal behavior so the image was basically supposed to make everyone self-conscious, then later on some Chad added the Chad that was just completely absurd behavior that no one would/could do and framed it as being extremely based. Now it's used as just another good thing vs. bad thing meme, mostly.
Before it went mainstream and people batarted using it for Virgin Thing I Dislike vs. Chad Thing I Like, when the Chad was always the bigger butt of the joke (but the Virgin was also the co-recipient of ridicule), some of them were really funny. My favorites were the Virgin 9/11 Victim Walking Down Fire Exit vs. Chad 9/11 Jumper and the Virgin Mario Odyssey vs. Chad Sonic Forces. /leftypol/ was an early adopter of the meme and had some funny ones (mostly made by afroplasm) that unfortunately helped plant the seeds of Virgin Thing I Dislike vs. Chad Thing I Like.
