    fgwr4453 22 hr. ago I would apply to this job with an entirely false resume tailored to get an interview. If I got the job, I would accept it and never show up. Or if they notice that I'm unqualified and was waiting their time, I'd return their attitude. "apologies for the misdirection." 2.2k Reply Share

    Electronic Weight3. 21 hr. ago I'm thinking that everyone should apply and land an interview with a completely false resume for this job, and once the interview starts after the niceties are done with, then you reveal that you actually do not hold US citizenship and/or you have no idea what the job is for, and offer your apologies for the misdirection.
