My unpopular opinion (and I'll eat the downvotes) is that CV fraudsters don't get prosecuted nearly enough.
It's not just faceless billionaire companies you're fucking over, it's the other candidates who actually put in the effort to become competent at the job you lied to get.
I'll never get my head around the popularity of the idea that lying on a CV doesn't make you a liar.
Go take a look at the downvotes I got, versus the updoots that the people are getting by justifying it as "corporations bad, defrauding them good"
It’s a shame you have any upvotes at all. It’s a moral and ethical imperative to lie on your resume. Evening the playing field is not fraud. Your cutesy dismissive retort is inappropriate because corporations have all of the power, turning job hunting into a totally atomized activity. The recruitment process is fraudulent, not the attempt to remedy it.
