Need some help regarding employment, this actually counts as BlackHAT IRL ...

Hello (BlackHat)World

First of all let me introduce myself. I have been lurking on this forum for the past two, maybe two and a half years but only started posting recently. I have worked my way through to a second bachelor's degree and am kinda proud of it.

I own a couple of websites that make some money for me, nothing fancy though mind you. I haven't had the time to devote to them because of the simple reason of working and studying. Full-time studying sucks since you have to actually go to lectures, labs etc .. but I digress. So far I have been working as an HR officer but the salary is not quite attractive and I cannot afford to quit my day job since I have people that depend on me. So I started looking into changing my profession.The country where I currently live is big on online casinos. This is where you guys come in.

Right now I am putting together a CV to start applying for a SEO Analyist/Specialst where pay is almost double. I would be job hunting in the iGaming industry, be it casinos or affiliate websites. The problem is, apart from some churns/burns, PBN building, basic kw research and backlink outreach. I do not actually have anything to put in the CV in this line of work since I wasn't employed in any particular company, it was just either experimenting or helping friends.

I have done my reading and understand both basic and intermediate SEO principles, it's what I am good at anyway. I haven't had the time to put in the hours in my own websites yet. I also have the confidence that I can pass any interview. I do, however need tips from you guys, as to what should I put down in the CV. Anything that comes to mind. Reasons for not holding a job like this before, reasons for not having experience in the field. I am very comfortable with using SEMRush, Ahrefs, Majestic, KWR, KWF and GA;GSC

I am also open to the idea of downright lying in my CV (the BlackHat part) if any of you are willing to respond to a simple e-mail from your website confirming I have worked for you as an SEO Manager (if it's a small site) or a SEO Specialist. I am sure that I can find a way to compensate you either through VA work, building backlinks or whatever you think of.

Any suggestions are welcome BHW

What you're proposing is deception, if the company find out they have the right to dismiss you on the spot. If that happens then you're really going to screw up your cv.

This isn't black hat at all, it's bordering on unlawful and I pity anyone who get's involved in this.

I have worked in HR and have seen a lot of people given a pass over stuff like this.It's a bit of a different culture here.

Any tips are greatly appreciated though. It's not like there is a degree in online marketing. Thanks

No worries, my partner was HR Director for an American telecoms company, looking after the UK and Dutch offices, so her experience is only based on European and American employment scenarios.

The beauty of the developed world Here it's is quite the opposite, we had a member of staff (mid-management) that actually faked his college degree and was given a pass, given he was actually quite good at his job.
