uNeThiCaL job hunting hacks

In my opinion, the whole professional shtick is just a game, and it’s inconsequential if you want to lie to get ahead—unless you’re a doctor or have people’s actual lives in your hands, etc.

Some stuff I did as a job seeker:

1. Lied in the interviews for several jobs I’ve had

And not just small lies like “yeah I’ve used that software.” I mean I straight up had NO clue how to do the job/never done it before. I researched the role prior to the interview and then *strategically and off-handedly* would drop industry keywords during the interviews so they’d believe me since I would say things so “casually” so it MUST mean I knew what I was talking about (it worked 🙄).

I mean I got every job, learned how to do it, and excelled. So… no regrets.

2. Double dipping employment

It was actually more like TRIPLE dipping because for a few years, I was holding three full-time corporate jobs PLUS still managing my own clients in my business. Even though they knew or may not have known, I didn’t have any non-competes or expectations of specific hours when I was salaried. So no one ever had a problem, because I excelled at every job. (which is easy to do since work doesn’t actually take 40 hours per week/per job. I would do all the work better and more efficiently AND still do less work than anyone else at any one of those jobs.

Pro: ALL THAT MONEY FOR YEARS.

Con: Eventually I got tired of juggling.
