If employers would evolve into the 21st century and stop assuming that a stupid piece of paper reveals everything about a person and those of us who are shy or lack confidence or social skills or lack experience would be bad at a job then maybe people wouldn't have to stoop to such lows to survive.
Until these employers change, I won't. If I have to con my way to the top then so be it. Survival is all that matters to me.

I would also say that even if your fake resume gets you in the door, questions during the interview will probably out your lies. And then the background check or calls to confirm that you worked at those places will find out that you didn't work there.
