Career pro-tip: Lie on your resume!
It’s why I’m stuck in a factory. I just don’t have it in me to bullshit/lie. I have a friend who worked his way into his career by saying whatever he needed to say and he makes 3x my salary.
I wish I had no morals or anxiety…
The way I see it is that they’re looking to exploit me for as much as they can get, so I have no obligation to treat them with any more respect than that. I don’t lie, but I have no problem taking a single instance where I worked next to a couple newbies for an hour and gave them pointers and turning it into “trained and oversaw new hires to ensure proper workflow protocol” on my resume.
I make higher than the median salary working at a factory. I left a job that required a college degree and professional licence that payed less than what I do now. Higher education requirements doesn’t always mean higher pay. You might just need to find a unionized factory. The lowest wage at my workplace is $25/hr (CAD). Local minimum wage is $17.20/hr and median wage is $21.83/hr.
unionize and try to switch workplaces every year to a higher paying one.
Um, if you switch workplaces you switch unions.
Depends if your union is regional or just your workplace.
Most of the manufacturing unions in my area are just that, the area. All the trade unions are as well, and probably the teachers union too.
Even if you don’t agree with this guy, you have to admit his credentials are impressive!
Please advise, my landlord won’t accept LinkedIn DMs as rent payment.
fire him; hire a new landlord
They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.
I see what you did there
They have concepts of a theory.
He’s talking about an MBA, not an actual degree.
I remember once borrowing a friend’s MBA textbook to see what it was all about. I opened to a random page which turned out to be in a chapter on negotiating strategies. There was an offset bit of text that read “your skill at negotiating will affect the outcome of the negotiations.”
Had to go find a Table of Contents for an MBA textbook
For this thread start at chapter 18
I mean, the textbook wasn’t wrong…
What if I already have a master’s but still can’t find a job?
Just keep adding master’s degrees until you get an offer, I guess.
If you keep adding enough master degrees eventually the HR system of some company hiring you will overflow and you’ll be CISO in no time.
