'After putting 2 fake positions on I finally started getting interviews': Woman explains how she broke into tech with a fake resume

It's a rough and tough world out there job searching. Even entry level jobs are requiring experience, which, like… Doesn't that defeat the purpose of it being an entry level job?? We constantly hear "this generation just doesn't want to work anymore!" But that is simply not true. People are constantly desperate for jobs, but companies are either not paying enough, asking too much of employee, or both. So what are you even supposed to do at this point? How in tarnation can you get the dream job you have been working so hard to get when they won't even give you a chance?

Well, we're not here to give you any advice, but one person on Reddit shared what they did to break into the tech industry and they have now been working there for over a year, so it work. What was it they did? They lied. Listen, listen, we're not encouraging lying, of course. We're just here to share the things we find interesting on the internet. We're just saying, this woman lied on her resume and it WORKED. She just added 2 or 3 fake past jobs to buff up her experience. They needed proof of these jobs, so l she made fake pay stubs and even created a website and email address. She was offered the job and she has now been there for over and year, and looking for her next leg up in the industry.

Again, we believing lying is bad, that being said… F*** the man, do what you gotta do to survive. Just don't be a jerk, be empathetic, and open minded, etc. etc. Anyways, read her whole story below!
