        Yeah, I don’t mean to to call him a retard. But if you’re going to repost a meme you found at least crop it ffs. It’s like the bare minimum effort. Hell, OP could still crop the image right now and then edit the post. Lemmy lets you edit the tittle and the image itself.

    There’s nothing stopping you from lying on your resume. Just make sure you have the general knowledge of the field, i.e. don’t apply to a programming job if you don’t know how to write code

          This is true.

          But to be clear, I was talking about people lying about having skills required to perform the job they’re applying for. If you’re in a homeless situation I wouldn’t suggest lying to get into a job you’re incapable of performing unless there’s no other job options. Even if you don’t fail the interview you’ll end up in a job that you’re likely to get fired from.

          That said, there is plenty of stuff that interviewers look for or ask about that has little or no impact on your ability to do the job (gaps in work history, weirdly specific minimum years of experience, etc). That sort of stuff is worth lying about.

        Eh, at some point it’s worth the risk. At the end of the day 9/10 might figure out you’ve been lying, but the 1/10 that doesn’t and gives you higher pay is still worth the embarrassment.

        Especially if it’s your first employment. Everybody wants people with prior experience, but you gotta start somewhere. Once you’ve got experience, then you can probably stop lying.

      Maybe learning how to spell the name of the company you are applying to helps a little 🤷
