There was always a chance and a risk when taking on people that didn't necessarily have the qualifications but had the "ability" to fulfill the job. Sadly, had to leave because I was moving to a different country.

Most HR is people who have a degree, and pleasant people and absolutely useless for anything else. Someone there (HR) does most of the paperwork but they NEVER are involved in the hiring process. The HR hiring people often have not a f*cking clue what the job is they're hiring for, and they look for "keywords". Often they let software search for those keywords. No keyword, or the wrong one, your resume hits the electronic trashcan. As for interviewing? How can you evaluate someone for a job, when you have no inkling what that job is or does?

This is legit fabulous. I'm a recruitment manager at a recruitment firm, I see the bullshit that hiring managers do behind people's backs. The harsh truth is that you're a piece of paper (your resume, obviously) to hiring managers. The key is to fill your resume with "half-truths," over-exaggerate your skills a bit but be able to competently explain them during the interviews. Job-hopping is generally a smart financial decision (realistically, hiring teams expect you to stay with employers for at least a year, unfortunately), always be searching for a higher-paying job while employed (obviously, don't quit a job until you have another one lined up). Be a politician in the 9-5 world, deliver mouth service when necessary, and do just enough to get by.

A "spotty" work history isn't that big of a deal as long as it's from fully completed contract roles, but unfortunately hiring managers do prefer to see long tenures in permanent roles.

I want to point out two things: 1. This is why the economy is crippled. 2. CEO's are so greedy for the immediate money and blind to the lower-level operations, that they fail to take the necessary steps to make truely sustainable money. 1. People love blaming the working class...we're lazy, we don't know what we're doing - we're gaming the 'system' when in fact, the people that are passionate, loyal, more than capable, talented, and can excel the company into profits 10x fold typically end up getting passed up by someone who matched the words on the job description to their resume. You wanna talk about the economy. I'll put it in basic terms. More people taken advantage of + less passionate enthusiastic workers getting hired = less pay for employees, and less money for employers. 2. So much more often than not, we see people hiring for jobs that they don't understand the full day-to-day operations and average-talent requirement for, it's crazy. Seriously think about how much money in wasted talent companies spend every year because they not only failed to assess the job duties appropriately, but they also hired someone for work that's way above their ability anyway.

Could you show me how to work it?" It always worked and he learned how to manage data and do other things very well. One of the biggest factors is confidence. If you ask to be shown, and get scared when all the information is given, or think "I can't do this" you will probably fail. Also a lot of good jobs require common sense rather than education.

Wrong, teaching kids there’s only one way to get a solution in life is one of the worst lies we’re taught as children

I'll be honest and say that I made up a false resume right before I finished my bootcamp. Within a month, I had gotten a job offered and went on to work 3 other jobs with better pay for each. All while this happened, none of my classmates got a job even after a year. Morale of the story, I'd say that lying in order to get your first job is key, once you've worked for some time in your first job, you'll no longer need to lie as you'll have actual experience to discuss.

Though I’ve found if you eventually need to switch careers you need to start lying all over again because your previous work experience doesn’t match what they want in the new career. So you need a completely new bogus resume and references and fake degree 😅

As someone whose always been honest even as a child this is difficult to accept but if the company doesn’t care about me why should I care about them 😓

Find something you care about and make that your passion. Build it like your life depends on it. Working 'jobs' felt and was like dying. My whole life changed when I started researching alternative work options. I realized I could sell some things online and see how that went. I started with a few items and now I haven't had a 'real' job in years. But it took me years to get to that place. Chear up, take a deep breath and treat yourself to a full night sleep. Life really does get better if you let it. Sometimes we just need to get out of our own way.

No company cares about you, they care about money, and will lay you off if it comes down to them making more profits doing so. You need to get used to being a pawn for EVERY company you work at. Your direct co-workers might care about you (and even then 90% of the time they wont), but the big guys in suits dont give a damn.

Almost 2 years ago I was promoted to a "manager" position for a large company. The candidates we were getting that were currently employed were ho-hum so I went back to HR and looked at the ones they were filtering that didn't hit on keywords OR HAD A GAP LONGER THAN 6 MONTHS. I went back thru those resumes and found the most qualified candidate with a job gap longer than 6 months - and I hired them because I'VE BEEN THERE. I've since hired 3 more people because my department has grown and all of them have had a job gap between 4 and 18 months AND THEY ARE THE BEST WORKERS I'VE HAD because they appreciate the opportunity. My fellow managers ignore qualified candidates with job gaps at their peril.

The actual hiring manager came back when i followed up the 3rd and final time with a phone call. She said 15 people got put on, but she doesn't know who. So i wasted essentially a month for a job that i was told i had, but was never *actually* given. May argue the fact that 'if you didnt hear back you didnt get it'. They called me 4 hours after interview to offer said role. If i wasn't getting it, why do you want my details for onboarding? My job gap grows wider lmao

I will tell you when I've been the most honest in interviews is when firms have wanted me the most. At one of my last ones, one of the first questions was "Why do you want to work here?" My answer, "I don't know that I do, that's why I'm at this interview to decide if I want to work here." I think the interviewer was so taken aback that I wasn't kissing his ass and doing corporate speak, that we actually had a really good discussion with him selling me on the company for the rest of the interview.

Correct.

You are taught to be honest and never lie, but in reality it takes 1 person to lie and they get ahead of you and thus begins the snowball affect of everyone needing to lie. I personally don't want to do it, but its the reality of the world and especially the job market.

This mindset is the right mindset for work. It's the same for mistakes at work. DO NOT ADMIT MISTAKES and try to cover them up if possible. Honestly does not do you any good. When you admit a mistake at work, you might think "I did the honest thing and my boss appreciates me being honest". It's the opposite. The more mistakes you admit, the more your boss doubts your ability to perform the job.

Same for you past salaries.

I've used three strategies to address gaps on my resume 😁 1. Consolidating details. My shipping job that I worked three times, twice as a contractor? Listed as one job. The theme park conglomerate which I worked for 6 seasons, with 3 jobs, in 2 cities? Listed as one job, everything else explained in the duties. 2. An "Education and Non-Employment" section near the bottom of my resume, putting down anything from community college classes to a home tech project. 3. A "Summary of Accomplishments" near the top, sorting all the details to paint a much nicer picture. My dad gave me the advice that "they want to think they're hiring someone with a plan. So come up with something." Also, it saves time on applications, my conscience stays clean, and I got more bites while I was still job hunting 😁

I fudged the shit out of my resume for my current job. They checked and found that I did in fact have a huge gap that couldn't be accounted for. When they asked why I didn't tell them, I said "I was tired of companies punishing me for being unlucky." They still gave me the job. Doubt that would ever work again. lol

actually, if anyone ever calls you out on a lie, the best course of action IS to come clean. The person is throwing you a bone by confronting you about the dishonesty rather than disregarding you, and coming clean will actually instill greater trust as it shows that you are willing to admit you mistakes. You did the right thing though and through. Lie at first because that's the game. But if an employer actually confronts the lie with truth, then they are more likely an honest company and deserves honesty at that point.

Getting fired for not knowing how to do your job (most people don’t) is also giving you training so better to get fired a few times. It’s liberating. You get better.

I came across your video last week, and a really good opportunity came my way. I applied for a manger position even though I’ve never been promoted to a supervisor, I’ve only had supervisor like task with no title or extra pay. So I put down supervisor for my current job. I lied on some parts, and thankfully all my references, came through and said good things about me, because I take pride in being a hard worker. I got the call today and got the job for the manager position. This video opened my eyes, you’re right. You can’t be honest on your resume and expect company’s to reward your honesty. I didn’t go college because I didn’t want to be in debt. I wanted to work my way up through hard work and proving those at the top wrong about needing a degree or sliding into a manger position through nepotism.

When you slowly start to notice how ridiculous these work experience demands are in the job description that you start to lie, just a pinch, and realise you can get more out of it. Thank you for the advice and bitter truth. I hope more people know this.

I hear what you are saying. As a programmer of 17 years, I have had many jobs. Each one I learned another domain and then the job started to dull. Keep learning new domains and you can prove yourself. I tend to explain job gaps as burnout or not quite the right fit. Not saying I am doing it right but I look younger for my age.

Fresh out the military I was denied a security job because the HR lady didn't like how I presented myself. Despite having one hell of a resume for experience, professionalism, clean shaven/haircut ect, And when that happened I realized, it doesn't matter if you are more than qualified for a job or not. If one person doesn't like something they will just throw it out and then make up some excuse to their boss as to why they didn't hire. She later got fired ahh, sweet justice.

Great video, a pro tip that I’ve learned to negate a lot of the issues you mentioned is not just forwarding your resume to a company for review. You should call the company and speak to someone in HR. If they blow you off that wasn’t the person you needed to speak to. Research the staff online and introduce yourself to them directly. Basically do whatever it takes to make a relationship with someone in the company so they can refer you. People that get referred get moved straight to the top of the list and your resume will only be used for your contact information. You will still need to be qualified for the job and impressive during the interview but at least you will be getting an interview

I think this is true a lot of the time but it can go wrong too. Not too long ago I took a job that most get degrees for without any degrees or related experience myself. I actually was getting it down, but my coworkers were incredibly impatient when I would make inevitable mistakes or not immediately know how to do something. Bottom line, this idea works if you get a job with friendly and forgiving people, but this can also piss certain people off quickly too.

Imagine going into a company, and grilling the company on why they have an open position. Are you a small company just now expanding? Will I have to worry about the company going under while I'm working here? Is there a problem with management? Did the last person leave because of a bad manager?

Back in the olden days of masters and servants, when servants lived in the basement and served basically 24/7, there was a MASSIVE social machinery around making the servants good at serving and never questioning their lot in life, for example a whole genre of literature devoted to telling the message that ”God looks with favor upon those that serve”, ”be honest, have integrity!”, ”do not envy” and so on. Those are not values created to make people happy, they're created by the masters to make their subjects good little servants that work hard for others benefit. It's kind of fucked up when people who are basically slaves themselves defend those values. Like dude, you're brainwashed, and it is pathetic. It's a little more complicated than that, and I do think society needs honesty to function, but.

Thirty years ago, I worked as a steelworker at a small family owned company in Cleveland (120 employees). Someone asked the owner's son, who was the plant manager, what he thought about lying on applications. He said "If you're not smart enough to lie, you're not smart enough to work here." Nice.
