When I was job hunting after graduating, it was very common for employers to ask me to complete a brief exam before they began the actual Q/A regarding my resume.
For each position, the exam was always full of questions related to the job description posted by the firm

There is a reason why employers require you to have a minimal set of qualifications.

Lying on your resume is just asking for trouble

I said I had extensive experience in Excel. I hadn't.

All I do is copy the previous month's Excel sheets, change a few numbers around and change the headers. No biggie. The pivot tables, formulas and all that good stuff updates itself. Easy stuff.

Every job I found that wasnt some shit tier retail or warehouse work required a bachelors. I put that I had a bachelors on my resume with a bunch of other bullshit that a friend told me too. Glad i did cause i ended up getting a bunch of callbacks snd im employed right bow at a startup earning a decent amount and im still a student.

Fuck being honest, that shit gets you nowhere in business

Once I said I was a customer service expert even though I'd never worked in customer service.

When I got the job they didn't even notice because customer service is just common sense and anyone who specialises in 'customer service' is a retard who has no actual skills.
