Companies often do not check resumes deeply. To prevent discovery at one job from having cascading effects, I had fake jobs on my resume to get the other two. Pretended to be my own manager for the background check for one of them.

I am getting friends into tech firms with six figure salaries with nearly entirely manufactured resumes.

I admit that there is risk, but the payoff is also tremendous and there seem to be next to no barriers to well constructed fakery.




Are you just stuffing the place with more whites and asians?
