I am looking to get a job in the PC assembly industry (yes, servicing gamers) but I need some advice in applying for the job, specifically resumes, what rights do I have, what red flags to spot, and how to prepare for it.
One of my biggest considerations is that all jobs here somehow require a degree.
I wish I had more advice to offer than just lie on your resume. But craft good lies. There’s nothing illegal about severely misrepresenting your educational history, you just need enough supporting evidence to have the lie pass, but not so much that you’re committing fraud. Example being: it’s fine to have a friend pretend to be a reference from a company that never existed. It’s not fine to draft a fake degree document.
Most companies aren’t going to put in the leg work to fact check anything you put int here beyond references. With a couple of committed friends and enough industry knowledge between you, you can have most recruiters believing you have years and years of experience.
That’s my advice wrt resumes. Don’t have enough experience in this specific industry to offer any other help.
Nope, I refuse to commit fraud
Your loss, man 🤷 You’re competing with fraudsters to work with fraudsters, it’s just the market.
Everyone lies and embellishes their resumes. Everyone. If they tell you they don’t then they are lying. There is nothing to gain in trying to navigate an inherently ignoble system with nobility. They will chew you up and spit you out and you still won’t have a job.
