Ask HN: Fabricating a Resume
2 by ResumeQuestions | 7 comments on Hacker News.
I've applied at a company a few times for a job I am well qualified for (15+ years of COBOL, RPG) but I heard that the company won't hire unless you have experience in a big bank. I have experience in small credit unions and smaller financial environments. How bad would it be to test this theory? Make up some fake job experience and fake details to see if they ask this fake person to an interview because they worked at a big finance company versus a small company, same 15 years experience.
