I saw this video on TikTok where the caption was lie on your resume or someone else will and actually get the job. I wouldn't promote blatantly lying on your resume without the skills to back up what you're saying but in today's market, telling white lies and adding fluff to your resume is essential to securing a job so long as you have the skills to back up those claims.
You have to do this in order to just get the interview. I got interviews once I started fluffing my resume making white lies. Just lie enough that you can cover it if they ask.
Lying to an employer these days simply means that in 99% of cases you'll fit right in with the company's actual ethical practices, instead of their publicly stated ethical practices.
I had 10 years of military service on my resume and I actually had an interviewer say she was worried about hiring someone who was "literally unable" to get fired from their previous job. I ended up getting a government job that hired a LOT of veterans so it all worked out, but I wasn't ready for that response.
"had an interviewer say she was worried about hiring someone who was "literally unable" to get fired from their previous job" - this translates to "I am worried that I won't be able to gaslight and manipulate you or get you fired if somebody does not like your face because you are too competent at the job"
Its amazing she turned your 10 years of military experience into a knock against you. When I ran mobile fueling locations id look at length of time at positions and thats a green flag for me. Its crazy the hoops people have to jump through just to get a job
Thank you for your service. What's funny is that there are hundreds of ways to get kicked out of the military. At least they showed you their red flags right away
It's the employer who lied in the first place saying they wanted a 'junior' or 'front-end' software engineer when they wanted a senior engineer with the pay of an intern.
One of my early titles was "programmer" and I listed it as "software engineer" on the resume. Because all the job listings were written as the latter. Never once felt like I was lying, just describing what I actually did in terms of what hiring companies said they wanted.
@@johndensmore7336 I am going to learn the hard way? I've been working for the past 25 years, prob more than you and I am in a very comfortable position. I don't think everything he states is accurate but on this video it definitely is.
Most people don't realize that their job title that they are assigned by the company doesn't usually match what their job title is in their payroll systems. Companies play games with job titles for various reasons. Payroll job titles get reported to the government, not the job titles that the company tells you that you have. I've supported payroll systems at multiple companies. This is the norm. So if companies play fast and loose with job titles to manipulate reporting data to their benefit why shouldn't you too? What's good for the goose is also good for the gander.
What about the situation where your job title doesn't reflect the actual role, and you choose to use a more commonly recognized job title? For instance, if your official job title is "App Cons Dev 2," you might put "Software Engineer" on your resume because that’s what the role entails. However, I wouldn’t consider it appropriate for a junior developer to label themselves as a "Software Architect" on their resume. Employers may become skeptical if people continue to misuse job titles. Until 2024, I never had to defend myself over whether I lied on my resume or about being a U.S. citizen. Many don't understand why entry-level roles in the H-1B visa program often require ten years of experience. The law states that employers cannot fill these roles unless they demonstrate an inability to find an American candidate. They circumvent this by setting experience requirements for entry-level positions. One way to address this issue is by establishing a minimum salary for H-1B visa holders, which could help ensure fairer compensation for these workers. This was something Trump implemented during his first term. However, it now seems that Trump is leaning towards following Elon Musk's advice, making H-1B visas easier for employers to obtain.
Worked for a company where my manager hired her best friend. Her friend was a horrible manager…I ended up managing all her direct reports and she got the title and pay. Now I’m “overqualified” for same title roles but “under qualified” for the role I was doing
This is spot on. Due to repeated re-orgs, I have my current role listed as 3 sequential jobs even though my employer considers it only one job. They're only going to confirm start and end date of employment anyway so I may as well fill in the details myself.
I worked for 5 years for a trade union as a temp/flex worker and I just list the union as my employer so people don't ask why I have 6 jobs in 5 years. I'm not lying because my employer was never truly the contractor.
The system literally forces you to not necessarily lie, but to overamplify your role and responsibilities. As long as you have the skills to back it up, it’s all fair game. Companies lie all the time, but they don’t like receiving the same treatment.
This is exactly what happened to me. My first job i climbed all the way to senior engineer. Then after changing employer, i realized that all my experience is just under senior designer role. Also accurate that this is my first employer's fault as their job titles is not aligned with the actual market
I agree that using marketing tactics is not out of bounds on resumes. I’m sure we all worked at companies professed to be “One of America’s leading providers of FILL IN THE BLANK”. Lying? Nope marketing.
It's pretty common, actually. The internal title that companies give you are largely meaningless. You should put a job title that best conveys your experience level and relevance to the company you're applying to.
As someone who has 2 unique Job titles: Control Room Technician & Tenant Relations Manager I have to try to find the best closest match for them because most other businesses may classify those titles differently. Also when I began both of those jobs it wasn't under those titles, not a promotion and still the same job, but the requirement to have a title that better qualifies the role of the job was needed. Another example is when My workplace tried at splitting a job into 2 separate positions: Safety and Security Officer and separate them. The issue being it's a management position; people understand that for Safety Officer, but most Security guards are called Security Officer without it being managerial. A lot of people applied to it with the non-manager understanding and now they've recombined the job back.
I got rejected from a warehouse job even tho I have warehouse experience they saw it on my resume and they still rejected me fuck that I’m going to school
School might be good but even after you complete it, you're not going to be guaranteed a job. There's so much nonsense out in the corporate world. Make sure to leverage your connections and find awesome people where you can. because if you don't, it's a world of headache.
My job title was changed from “Web Developer” to “Engineer” plain and simple. There’s no distinction of “Engineer” and I don’t feel comfortable with that. My resume says “Software Engineer” and I was able to get a new job with no questions asked about title. I think my title was changed so they could justify paying us less when they did a comp study based on our titles. The engineering department was noted to be severely underpaid, but we got a raise with a title change. The raise was $2000 / yr despite saying we are 15% under the average they were aiming for.
I once worked as a credit analyst II for a large bank. One day they changed my title to Senior Business Banking Portfolio Coordinator. Or something like that. No change in salary. At my annual review I got a $500 raise which equated to just below 1% of my salary at the time.
Still need to find a way to change jobs. I went back to driving CDL truck(home daily, thank God) because my company now pays $2k/week. I went back to school(they paid for it) to switch into cybersecurity and IT. Been applying for almost a year now, even at lower incomes and not even getting a call back--rejected every moment, even at places where I know some people who work there. How do I hack this without lying? Sick of not getting an interview even.
I've observed that companies can conduct thorough research during background checks and uncover the precise job titles held at all previous employers. How should one address the situation if a prospective employer disputes your claimed job title, insisting that Company A listed you as an intern or junior employee instead?
My current job has an internal and external title and neither represents what i do. I would imagine you can bs through it assuming nothing else comes up and lets say you have been a jr for years with the typical supervision removed. Just say that is how i was presented to clients or that is what the system said.
This happened at many of my jobs, I got hired to do one thing and then slowly they add more more and more, where in the end I'm doing completely something different than what I was hired for
Hey Josh, have you heard about all this h1b stuff going on between elon, vivek, and lots of other people on twitter? I feel like it's right up your alley considering its both related to tech jobs and cooperate greed.
My job title is “sales associate” because I work in a retail store, but 90% of my job is graphic design and printing. You make an excellent point and I think I’ll be changing my title since I’m going to be looking for a graphic design job. 👍
You have to be more deceptive and crook all in one because companies when they do their corporate realignment, they be first to layoff or withhold certain details about the job for low pay.
3rd party recruiters pretty much force me to lie on resumes. They merge C2H and perm roles or change my title/skills to try to fit the description of the hiring role closer despite the skills and role being practically synonyms
Yeah, I've had to do this during my own job search because different companies have different titles for the same role. For example, a "lead engineer" may be called a "senior engineer" or something else at another company. I've had to add multiple job titles to my LinkedIn profile as well so anyone searching by job title would find me by the half dozen or so possible job titles that what I do could be given.
The thing you gotta do is lie just enough so you can brush it off. "Well it said it was this job but you wrote this." "Oh did I my bad, most of my coworkers usually just called it that."
So what happens when say you get a job offer, and then you get that email from ADP. the one requesting a background check. They'll call and verify dates of employment, job titles, and if you're re-hirable (your mileage may vary depending on your state). What do you do when on your resume you were a "Senior" when you weren't a Senior? Now, I'm all for resumes being "Sales brochures", I just want to be clear when the bg check gets sent out you're covering all your bases. For the record I have issues with bg checks, but losing out on an offer would suck a lot in today's market.
Recalling all the Y2K Projects being updated to maintenance and enhancement projects in 2001. It happens in other verb-age too, like IDE becoming PATA. OFC if you lie about something like a degree, they'll use that to insta fire you and deny you unemployment. Some might not even hire you unless you do lie, so they can do that and otherwise hold that over you.
Lying is survival of the fittest at this point I even watched videos on TH-cam job training videos on certain systems to obtain more of a skill set to add on my resume as well for a job
I never did tech work , but I've done industrial work at several defunct companies. One advantage of working at a dead company is you can be inventive as to what you did at your former employer , especially when they are dead and gone.
If a company gives you a stupid job title like “Customer Experience Ninja” changing it to “Marketing Specialist” or “Customer Support Specialist” isn’t lying. It correcting your company’s stupidity. And if you’re doing some amount of management, adding that to the title isn’t lying.
Your job evolves over time no matter what. Your title changes when HR decide they have the time and sign off from management to do it. It's is bullshit office politics and a power play by the company to extract more from you while not giving you a *fair* title change. Even if they agree you need a title change you will often hear them follow up with "but we will have to wait until next year to resolve that as we can't change titles mid-year, it can only be done when we do your performance review" 🙄
I was mistakenly invited to a company meeting of managers and they were telling how to handle your employees payroll, etc. the literally mention the pay was based on the title and I had been given a weird title that doesn’t describe at all what I do. In a recent meeting with a manager I mentioned I wanted a title change.
If you're ever curious about how re-wording your resume can affect job perception, go look back at your current job listing's set of requirements/tasks (or find something similar) and compare that to what you ACTUALLY do on a day-to-day basis to determine for yourself if it's anywhere near the level of "sophistication" as it's made out to be
the thing is if u lie they still check your resume with sterling (its a company that background checks) and if your resume doesnt check out they can recind the job offer.
They're gonna check it against your education and tax info, probably. So you can't change your place of employer but by golly you can change that title all you want.
Nothing new, I already knew this by thinking about it. The video should have been called "Lying on your resume or updating your resume". It's not really lying. It's lying if you over market yourself. You're screwing yourself by under-marketing yourself. You're marketing yourself on how you value yourself. It's always kind of been like this. Nowadays, it's just been highlighted because of the current dilemma and problems. It's really about adaptability.
Put the info of the job(s) you actually do, especially if you’re a person that takes on extra things and special project work. It’s more accurate for your skillsets and less boring for recruiters and/or potential clients. If you leave it out, you might miss opportunities because a potential employer might be looking for someone with experience that might be considered side-work. Thanks again Josh!
Agree with the idea, just curious how to avoid background check issues where say per the example you put Marketing Manager while your official title is still Marketing Analyst.
That will almost never come up on a background check. They check licenses/schooling, dates of employment, credit, criminal, etc. They never ask a previous employer for a reference or use your job title. Job titles between employers aren't even 1:1 anyways.
Just remember companies do background checks and if you lied it can mean your job offer gets rescinded. I mean it's fine to tweak your title to sound better, but don't say you were CEO when you were just an Analyst or something.
In general I would agree with this but you have to know your industry. There are some job titles that have specific education/experience tied to them. Be extremely careful shading the truth on these if you don't have the education/experience required.
What business owner would staff a department to give references? Nobody. They are 100% hanging up that phone. Its just another red item to be minimized on the spreadsheet.
Take education out of the equation and what's wrong with sticking it to the man by lying on an application if you're able to do the job safely and properly. I would think you Joshua would be the first to say it's fine to stick it to these companies that are screwing Every day individuals, so a little payback is just fine as long as you're able to do the job
No point in making resumes anymore. They never read them and the resume goes right in the trash after the interview. The jobs just go to the boss’s relatives and friends anyway. Just do gig work.
Or you could get good at lying. You can easily fake work experience and skills, but not your education. Lie on things that can’t be verified. If you happen to know a friend who owns a business (no matter how small), tell them that you worked there for the same job that you are trying to apply for. If you don’t have a friend, make your own sole proprietorship. In most countries, this is completely free. You just decide that you are operating a business and you are.
@@abdul4515 This is what I did. I got an engineering degree, union journeyman card, and a CDL and lied about my entire work history to get an upper management role. There was no way I could have fit management experience in that time frame but there's no management cert so boom I was also a manager. Like freaking magic.
As crazy as the job market has been, you almost need to lie on your resume just to get to the interview process

Why would anyone not lie on their resume (and in the interview)? There is practically no downside ...
Am I crazy or is there a delay in his speach?
There is I thought it was me lol 😂
The guy got that job market replicant vibe
Don't forget guys these life skills are more important than any other skills you might think are important for the workplace.
I don't think the audio is synced up.
Just remember companies do background checks and if you lied it can mean your job offer gets rescinded.
I mean it's fine to tweak your title to sound better, but don't say you were CEO when you were just an Analyst or something.
This guy still being beautiful as ever. Still want my discord hoodie :p
Nice. Good idea
If there was a button that means more than like but fully support what you say
Fucking love this guy...
Agreed!!!
Amazing tips, but I hope there comes a somewhat of a fued between you and Dave Ramsey. Thats going to be exciting to watch.
There is this one scene on Silicon Valley were they say something along the way of:
"She was engineering at xy"
In general I would agree with this but you have to know your industry. There are some job titles that have specific education/experience tied to them. Be extremely careful shading the truth on these if you don't have the education/experience required.
I am a regional enterprise sales development growth manager level 4 lol
*audio and video are out of sync* in this video
Gr8 tip!
Why are you always angry?
Guess who also lied on their resumes.
Just wonder, won't HR call my previous company to check my CV?
No. 😂 They don’t have time for that. They have quotas to meet and lunches to schedule in.
Or some places their HR departments due to privacy policies won’t even confirmed you work there
What business owner would staff a department to give references? Nobody. They are 100% hanging up that phone. Its just another red item to be minimized on the spreadsheet.
Is it just or is this audio not synced properly?
Take education out of the equation and what's wrong with sticking it to the man by lying on an application if you're able to do the job safely and properly. I would think you Joshua would be the first to say it's fine to stick it to these companies that are screwing Every day individuals, so a little payback is just fine as long as you're able to do the job
If you require food to live, you should already be lying.
Everybody requires food to live. I think you meant if you need money for food.
@@Deeptunester "Everybody requires food to live" -> There you go
Happy New Year 2025, Joshua!!
No point in making resumes anymore. They never read them and the resume goes right in the trash after the interview. The jobs just go to the boss’s relatives and friends anyway. Just do gig work.
Or you could get good at lying. You can easily fake work experience and skills, but not your education. Lie on things that can’t be verified. If you happen to know a friend who owns a business (no matter how small), tell them that you worked there for the same job that you are trying to apply for. If you don’t have a friend, make your own sole proprietorship. In most countries, this is completely free. You just decide that you are operating a business and you are.
@ I’ve done that in the past. 🤣👍
@@princessmarlena1359 oh shit didn't mean to call you out lmao.
@@abdul4515 no it’s cool. That’s pretty much why I relate so well to this video.
@@abdul4515 This is what I did. I got an engineering degree, union journeyman card, and a CDL and lied about my entire work history to get an upper management role. There was no way I could have fit management experience in that time frame but there's no management cert so boom I was also a manager. Like freaking magic.
I change them
You've got to fluff up your resume a bit, you know others are doing it, just make sure you can MOSTLY back up the fluff.
Please be careful with changing your titles during background checks, that can screw you up. Sometimes you can explain why you did it.
Where's HR Lady?
She dropped him when he decided to go #VanLife.
@@carolineg4641 I guess TH-cam isn't paying as much anymore. Maybe he should start "job hopping."
@@carolineg4641 I would too if I were her. He has no prospects... maybe he should start sending out those resumes.
@@carolineg4641Why you making sht up dude? Where you get that info
Why??
What horrible advice to give someone.
Spotted the HR
I've always used a title that best fits what I do, based on a Google search.
