anon, have you tried lying?

This is one of the actually true ULPT, most people do lie on their resume, the sooner you realise it and make use of that, the better for you
If everyone has imposter syndrome, no one has imposter syndrome.
I don't actually suffer from imposter syndrome, which, given that everyone seems to experience imposter syndrome, makes me feel a little impostery, so... Yay, solidarity wins again?
First job I has as a developer was for a PHP role. I didn't know shit about PHP. Did a small project at school at a point and it was all the experience I had. Lied on resume, got asked some basic questions that where true for all programming languages. Got the job, learned PHP while working.
Can confirm, just lie, worst case scenario you just end up wasting some recruiter's time.
Anon says he holds a degree.
Do people forget that a degree in ANYTHING allows you a legup on your competition no matter what the job is as long as it isn't hyper relevant to some niche position?
He doesn't even need to lie lmfao. Yes, even art degrees people. Employers just want to see you can commit to something for more than a year and are functionally literate in person and on a PC. That's it if you're trying for white-collar.
