DO YOU LIE IN YOUR CV?

Most CEOs are scapegoats really
bad example on my part

I can't argue there, there way too many variables to be considered, and the type of company or business the CV is placed into.
I stand by what I said but at the same time both you & @TheMarquis have solid points too.

No, just no.
Love you Remi, but not because you're sexy afq and smart, but because you are way above the average, and a rare top. A valedictorian, I could say.
And no, there is no irony above. I know to see and respect smart people.
 
i can see its unethical but 90% of the methods shared here are some grey area.
you can create a fake website and company and list it as prior experience. use voip numbers to be your own reference.
can you get away with it -- typically. hiring dept gets 100s of applications a day. some get that per hour. are they going to go to state tax records site and confirm that llc really exists for their candidate short-list. some don't even confirm your certifications. at least in my experience.
 
Apllying on jobs on UPWORK counts? If yes, then hell yeah I did. I didn't knew how to fire up properly Photoshop/Illustrator but I knew I could learn how to do it and I did. Landed the job then in a week he got the Logo design. He liked it, he rewarded me, he gave me feedback. Job done, new skill unlocked but I've 'mislead' it to think I am capable. Then also I got projects on my name that I haven't had any clue how to complete it, but I know I could outsource it and I did. Still a misleading, but the promise was kept and the results delivered.

If I would start hiring and someone that has lots of experience as a skill, no prior work experience but he/she is very good and delivers and then I find about the lie because they wanted to land the job, the fck do I care? For real. I even encourage 'dark/blacknhat creativity' as long as it diesn't affect the biz overall.

All great, succesfull and really solid businesses they had a moment that they lied about something, to 'employ' new orders/clients etc. (This is a something related to the lie factor).

@xReminisce I understand the corporate point of view, but it's plainly stupid to fire after a few years.

To send a message
also, it would depend on their position.
The higher it is, the more likely they are getting fired.
It hurts the company rep having them onboard regardless of their strengths.
Company reps preceeds all.
 
Also, I want someone to show me a president in the whole history acros all countries that didn't lie in the resume :D :D

I think this is more west related type of corp behaviour. And when I say west i do refer to US nainly where the justice/legal factor is a bit more crazy then the rest of the world. Don't say it's bad
