everyone always says lie on your resume, and i agree that there’s no reason not to. i’ve never done it before though so i want to know what i can and can’t get away with.

for example, if i’ve been out of work since january, can i just lie and say i’m still employed by the company i quit working at in january and make it look like i don’t have an 8-month gap on my resume? or is the HR person at the place i’m applying going to be able to figure out that’s a lie?

also please give tips on what are some good lies to add, how to punch up normal looking resume shit, etc

      I was more commenting on the very rapidly having to learn a lot of different languages once or twice each and then putting all of them on a resume because that’s what recruiters like to see.

      But I see you were making a joke after typing this comment. Very good
