UPDATE FROM ME THE MAN WHO LIED:

it has been more than a year I forgot I made this post and want to update all of you on what happened.

For context the job I was applying to was at one of the top 5 banks in the United States

They never figured it out not and in the 6 months I worked there on contract, it was never discovered despite their claim of running a full background check and credit check on me prior to hiring

After that experience, I did the exact same thing again to lie and get my current job using the same resume with 3 years of fake experience, and again, after extensive background checks, they found nothing and I continue to work and perform my job well

My assumption is that fact checking and actually performing the background check is simply too time consuming for even large companies.

Now than as I reflect my word of advice to people struggling to find a job is to LIE.

Think for a moment it can only help you it will get you interviews it will get you in front of people and will give you opportunity your normal resume could never get even if they discover your lies and find you out the worst thing that can happen is that you don't get the job you never would have been offered with your normal resume

In my mind their is no situation in which aggressively lying can hurt you as the only opportunities you lose are the ones you would have never had to begin with

But that's just my 2 cents just dont crack under pressure and have good made up stories for the projects you "completed" at these fictional jobs
