I know a FEMALE who blatantly lied about her college and she has NEVER been scrutinized by MAJOR companies. Either they ignore or are incompetent. A resume check takes very little time. I believe many get and keep jobs via winks and nods.
So the possibility of blockchain finding Hussein O’s records is Slim Pickens?
I’ve run into a few frauds that somehow got away with lying about their professional and educational history.
It seems that just about any job I applied for, big or small, practically wanted bone marrow from me and my signature in blood.
These days I have a recruiter pinging me to go to Volvo (assuming I get through the hoops).
If I can get the money I’m asking for, I can see me there.
Silicon Valley:
I interviewed one Indian woman with a listing for “Electron Microscopy” —really impressive.
Inspired, I asked her about it. I was beaming.
“I borrowed that off of my friend’s resume”.
They’re NOT EVEN ASHAMED OF IT.
That was a real wowzer.
No wonder they don’t want to live among people like them.
My PhD is from the University of Zimbabwe.
Try to disprove that one!
‘So glad I’m gainfully retired.
It’s better to stretch the truth and gt the job then to be unemployed.
Correct. Implementations are right now showing up here and there, but it means nothing if it isn’t put on decades old records.

Or in Obama’s case, someone doesn’t fudge it yet again to pass.
Saw a post recently. Company wants 10 years of NodeJS experience. NodeJS was created 2009.
Fact checking is a circle jerk and a fraud.
Liberals fact check against liberal sources, so when conservatives report something liberals self-censor, it is flagged by algorithms as unverified because it isn’t verified against a source liberals consider legitimate.
When liberals do “fact check”, they check every little detail of what conservatives say to be able to say it is partially (at best) or mostly untrue while letting whoppers by the left go unvetted.
Who’s Checking the Fact Checkers?
A new study sheds some light on what facts the press most likes to check.

I’ve never gotten work with a resume. I walk in, tell them what I can do, start the next day.
Sometimes I’ve been asked for one just so they can have one on file.
I will admit when I’m looking at resumes that people drop off, I’m not looking at job experience. I’m looking for how old they are. I prefer to hire older over younger. The younger barring some exceptions don’t have any work ethic.
Resume exaggeration is a response to the fraud of HR staff posting job experience and skill requirements that no human being could have possibly acquired during a lifetime professional career, even for mundane job postings. Job applicants are only doing what they have to do to get a damn job so they can live a life.
Mine is specific experience and it was always recruiters or employers chasing me. I’d be sitting at my desk and phone calls would come in from people I didn’t know and never heard of before. If I could have gotten to the managers, it would have been better.
That being said, I took a less-than-optimal job a few years back. It was an absolute mess, close to impossible to fix. Even the woman who had been there for 20+ years prior didn’t want to try and fix it any more.
But I’m glad that works for you. It’s certainly the way America used to be.
Oops messed-up by interjecting one sentence out-of-sync afterwards.

I’m in northern Alberta, and I’m an electrical contractor oil and gas. There’s a lot of demand for what I do which is good.
Are you at a place you like now?
If Canada keeps getting worse, I may bring my company to the US. I need to talk to some immigration lawyers again on how that works.

I was in HR in a third country and the Americans always exaggerated and the Brits always underplayed their achievements.
Virtually all cryptocurrency thefts are a result of failure to secure cryptographic keys. This is the difference between stealing the combination to your safe and cracking the safe. No one has cracked the safe that is Bitcoin. Quantum computing will likely be able to do it eventually, but by the time it can, the cryptography will have evolved to compensate.
