Being a new graduate and forced to navigate the Boomer wasteland comes with a great deal of patience and cheap pharmaceuticals. We had to endure a great recession and then a worldwide plague. This, of course, made upward mobility and good jobs next to impossible. This might explain why 75 percent of hiring managers have caught applicants lying on their résumés.
While legally, this probably isn’t the best strategy to get a job, in some economies, you gotta do what you gotta do. If you’re going to lie on your résumé, at least do it well.
That’s why we’ve created the Mandatory New Graduate Guide to Lying Your Way Into a Dream Job. We’ll tell you what pitfalls to avoid while you’re casting your little web of white lies.
