    1. Apply to a position above your experience level with a company you don’t give a shit about. Lie on your resume. Lie in the interview. Use fake references. The whole 9.

    2. Fly under the radar until you have the actual experience to satisfy the job requirement.

    3. Apply to that same position at a company that actually looks decent; this time don’t lie.

    Low risk first steps (worse case scenario 1st company sees through the lie and you burn a bridge you don’t actually give a shit about; try again with another), job security with the keeper.

      While this is valid advice in the current job market, it will damage your moral compass and you will be no better than a Zuckerberg.

        Wow, people agreeing with someone arguing for ethical restraint! Not sure where I am, but respect.

          Ironically arguing for ethical restraint by using Zuckerberg as an example, which is similar ti using Hitler as a measuring stick.

          Moth of which have become much more relevant.

      Depends on the field. In my field people talk. Word would get around that you lied, plus you might get reported to our certification board. If that happened, there would be no interview at the second company because your certification would be gone and not coming back, and everyone checks certification status because it’s so easy.
