    There seems to be a divide in the comments, so please let me clarify my points:
    1. By lying, I mean you should exaggerate your skills as you see fit and change your job title to a more fitting title and such. Do not lie about your certifications and your college degrees. Essentially, anything that requires proof, don't lie nor fabricate lies.
    2. As long as you don't go too far and be absurd with your claims, you will most likely be fine.
    3. The only reason why I promote this is for people who are desperate for jobs currently and is continuously job searching at the moment. This might help those people. If you are against lying, I respect that and I hope things work out well for you in the end.

    The consequences for me was i got a living wage.
    I lied about having direct reports, when in reality I was just a Individual Contributer who were in charge of training new contracted employees. I lied about being an advocate for a contractor who got hired full-time. Someone did get hired full-time, but i was not their advocate.
    I lied about writing functioning macro code single handedly within 8 hours. It actually took two days, and i used chat gpt. My job was accounts receivable, so no software engineering bone in my body.
    Current job is accounting analyst, and they really liked the macro experience. I wanted to be an analyst for the past 3 years. Finally here. 🤗

    can relate to this. My whole career growing up was a lie , I got successful thru perserverance. I was in customer tech support field. I struggled in the beginning cuz I didnt have the experience , and didnt know how to answer all those questions at the interview. I failed every time in the beginning, was sloppy with my answers and got caught lying so many times. But after being thru 30 interviews , I finally put it together.. From that point , I got it down like a movie script, I knew what theyre going ask me before even before they think about it. I figure out how to steer them to ask certain questions or manipulate them to ask the questions I wanted.. I was in control of the conversation all the time , which is very rare, they looked more stumped than me. So I was lookin like a genius to them , they cant believe how good I can answer it. So yes it can be done , thats how CIA are trained ...through rigorous practice and the right body language , you can lie just about to anybody even the most well trained lie detection/detective test.

    I job hop every few years or so because I get a bigger incentive and a higher paid position after the economy fall in 2020 I have to go back to the rat race and start over and I noticed that they are picky on who they choose. they demand experience and references, but then some companies don’t like it when you’ve been at different companies for a short period of time And that situation if they ask you, have you worked at the same company for a few years or more and you didn’t just say that you did. What I learned is that when you hand in resumes and they ask if they can contact your previous employer, just say yes if they call your previous employers (witch they won’t) just say well what do you want me to do you say you’re hiring and if you have a gap in your résumé because you were unemployed because of life just say you worked at the previous company during that entire time they never call anybody. I can tell you one thing out of all the places I work too. There is a lot of discrimination, being singled out and companies lying to your face.

    I've seen it backfire personally and eventually end up in a person being let go. In my personal situation a person lied about a skill / experience they had on their resume. It was a thing that rarely or maybe almost never comes up but unlucky for them said thing did come up and when they were called to deal with it they drew blanks which immediately exposed them. They didn't get fired right away but it led down a path were more lies were exposed and yeah it got there at some point. Also lying a bout references can backfire too. Some jobs they won't do any checking but others absolutely will follow up and basically do actual detective work on you and when things aren't lining up again you'll be exposed and it'll be embarrassing and will hurt your job prospects even more. I agree that there are some more minor things you can maybe safely get away with lying about but those things usually won't be the kinds of things that are gonna make the difference in you getting the job so it's something I wouldn't recommend imo.
    I can understand it though if you are truly desperate though but in that case you definitely want to practice fake it to you make it. Definitely be learning said things you lied about like every day until you can at least stumble your way through.

      ​@@alyonarodina1296 Yeah being in that situation can suck big time. Really it's on managers to sort people like that out but managers suck they almost always suck. People become managers to do less work quite frankly and there's a saying if crude but shit rolls downhill. Bad managers(which are most) make their problems (their work really) fall to employees which shouldn't happen. I've been there before and yeah I simply don't help said person. That's not to say I'm nasty, not a team player or a snitch or anything like that but if they are floundering and not / won't carry their weight I simply won't help and focus on doing my own assigned work. If they try to assign me someone else work that's when I raise a formal objections and potentially go to HR honestly. That's also why you should practice CYOA (cover your own ass) tactics. You document everything. Like that person asking you how to do react. The non reaction of your managers everything. All emails, chats and what not that are funky like that save. When work starts to fall through. Quality drops and or deadlines are not met they will start asking questions and signaling people out asking questions as to why that's when you whip out the receipts.
      It's stressful and feels like work shouldn't have to be warfare like that but it is sometimes no way around it. It's like washing a train crash in slow motion and something you alone can't stop it and just have to watch from afar. It's literally someone else's job to stop the train crash (aka a manager) and they aren't doing it. Also yes people will eventually at some point try to use you like a doormat and you'll have to defend yourself. It's unavoidable sadly. You definitely have to stand up for yourself. Worst case scenario if the situation becomes untenable then you always need to be prepared to leave which is something not enough people are willing and or prepared for. Keep your finances so that you have a backup fund that you can survive off of for some time if need be and always work on improving your skills / experience so that if the time comes you can walk away and get a new job without derailing your life. You'd be surprised how often that ends up in the company or whatever begging the person to stay because deep down they know who really gets work done.

      Easier said than done when the costs of basic living continue to increase. All the save, save, save talks just becomes much of a facade as the economy is struggling. Honestly, all the problems come back to what people all think about is money and they think money is everything. Money should only be a biproduct of life because the more it controls the aspects of life, the more quality of life just simply decrease. The money greed just slowly ate the country from within, starting somewhere in the 80s.

      @@ElkaPME Nah. You’re romanticizing it. Or trying to make it seem like an impossibility. It isn’t. You get a job and have them deduct a percentage of your wages and shift it into a savings account, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 401K, or even a checking account and you let it grow. Don’t touch it. It isn’t impossible. I was able to do it, working an average job, even while living away from home, without the benefit of a college degree in the field. Why does everyone take a victim’s mentality when it comes to work, the economy and money? I was dirt poor, my parents were drug addicts and we were homeless for large chunks of my childhood. I got a normal job, entry level, went to work every day, saved money on the side, was frugal and was able to do well. It isn’t magic. It’s called delayed gratification. Something that people don’t understand anymore, because of the “I want it now mentality.”

    No, don't lie. Run towards fear instead of away from it. Look at your life, how can you structure the time you have during the work week (that's 8:00 am on time until 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday). You can only get serious about projects ($$$) if you follow this principle. Find a quiet office space AWAY from your home. Be at the GYM at 7:00 am every day (or go for a bike ride if it's the summer) and have your breakfast ready the night before. Eat vegetables like a little bit of spinach every day, brocolli, nuts, raisons (don't eat candy!), salmon, and olive oil, and tea/coffee. If you smoke, take breaks of 6 weeks.
