Lying To Get a Job

[Pegasus_77]

Of course not. That's like digging your own grave

Considering how hard it is to get a decent job, people still do it nonetheless

 

[Pegasus_77]

Yeah I lie about my criminal record.

what did you do, BTW?

You wouldn't steal a handbag. You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't download a car and then lie about your work credentials, and so on

I think he meant the opposite

Yes. I guessed as much.

(But one never knows. And besides I was trying to be funny*. Not very hard. And I doubt I succeeded. But still.)

*or is the word "elliptical"?

 

[Pegasus_77]

Gotcha.

No, I wouldn't lie to get a job. I would have to be VERY desperate.

My original post was "No. That wouldn't be right." Then I remembered one thing that you guys can judge. I put in a cover letter that I knew when to shut up. Months later I got fired from the gig in part because I didn't shut up. In hindsight I wish I had both spoke up more (even if that meant I had gotten sacked earlier) but that I also left it out of my cover letter. It turns out, if I think the organization is bogus in its actual operations I have trouble staying quiet about it.

Sounds like you knew when to shut up, but this wasn't the time to do that.

 

[Borachio]

Gotcha.

Yeah. You got me.

(wut?)

Are you as snotty as your profile photo suggests? Assuming that's not you.

Eh? Christoph Waltz's character in that scene was having a chat with Django about bounty hunting.

Didn't watch that movie. My inner voice always mumbles "I guarantee it" when I see your avatar.
