On online job search platforms, some job seekers may resort to falsifying their academic credentials and work experience to obtain senior positions. Here are some common tricks: 1. **Falsifying academic credentials**: Using tools such as Photoshop to forge university degree certificates and transcripts, or purchasing fake academic credentials from the Internet. 2. **Falsifying resumes**: Exaggerating or fabricating work experience and time in a resume to describe one’s position and responsibilities as more senior. 3. **Using fake references**: Forging references from former employers, claiming to have held senior management positions in certain companies to enhance one’s credibility. 4. **Using fake work experience**: Fabricating work experience in certain well-known companies, or borrowing other people’s experience and claiming it as one’s own. 5. **Creating a fake online persona**: Creating a fake professional persona on social media platforms, such as a LinkedIn page, showing fake work experience and skill endorsements. 6. **Undisclosed projects or clients**: Claiming to have worked on some undisclosed projects or worked with well-known clients, but without substantial evidence. 7. **Exaggerating skills and certificates**: Exaggerating one’s professional abilities in skill descriptions, claiming to have some qualifications that are not actually there. 8. **Blurring work experience**: When describing work experience, use vague language to make it sound more prestigious and avoid providing specific times and places. 9. **Leveraging friends or relatives’ experiences**: Using friends or relatives’ real work experience and passing off their background as your own. 10. **Fake career transition**: Claiming to have successfully transitioned from an unrelated industry to a senior executive position to attract the attention of recruiters. Although these tricks may help job seekers get a position in the short term, once discovered, it can lead to serious consequences, including loss of job, reputational damage, and even legal liability. Recruiting companies usually conduct background checks, so it is important to be honest and transparent.
