ULPT Faking Degree
Posted by Immediate-Couple8895@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 10 comments
I received a response to complete a Google Form for a job I applied for. Everything is a great match, except that I do not have a bachelor’s degree. I do have 5 years of somewhat relevant experience. Should I be honest about that, or should I claim I have the degree and fake it?
I know they can not double check it without me being there( Belgium)

Love how candidates have to be honest but the company can bold faced lie and it phases nobody.

I wouldn't say fired folks are unphased

Lying to a big corporation is literally always fine from a moral standpoint. I’d claim the degree, chances of them checking once you are actually hired are pretty low. As long as you keep your mouth shut and don’t tell anyone else how would they know? That’s the big key though- two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead.
If you do get called on it, just insist on there being a mistake and make your exit.

If they don't catch you when you start they're not going to check later, there's no need unless you'll give them reason

They dont as long as your previous work experience proves it.
Unless your degree is from like MIT, they won't check.

Honesty is the best policy because if they somehow find out later there's a really high chance they fire you. There's also the possibility of fraud or similar if they really wanted to press the issue

Be honest. I'd fire you on the spot if I found out later

Already filled in the forms honestly :) Didn't want it to backbite me later if They give me a chance.
