Some places actually check.

I worked for a tech place in Chicago that caught a guy lying on his resume about a lot of stuff. He didn't get the job.

And in college, I worked a summer job in Bechtel HR. They checked absolutely everything. They called every previous employer and university, and everything had to check out. We had problems with one old German guy because his records before 1945 had been destroyed in the war. We called Germany and it checked out, but was still not a good enough excuse.

In a employer/employee situation, one will likely find that its the employer who lies more than the employee. The employer is less moral and less ethical than the employee. If employers stopped lying and started being ethical, they would eventually go out of business.

My husband said he could never give an opinion about a past employee to someone who wanted to hire him, only factual information. Because of lawsuits. If it was someone he knew, he would share ‘off the record.’

I go the other route, I boast that I'm a self taught high school drop out. My skillset and experience, speaks for my knowledge.
It took 13 Indians from Dilloot and Toosh(sic) to replace me and rewrite the 5 apps I created at my last job. And from what I hear from everyone still at the company, that has to use the software. It sucks balls, it is a stripped featureless piece of shit, they hate it. It took them 3 years to write them. Where as each project I did took 3 to 4 months or less.

If that's what education is churning out, it's nothing to brag about.

@Tenpoundbass, why aren't you working for yourself/starting your own company?

See above link. Men swamp a tech career job fair in Orlando meant to be for women and non-binary men.

The claim by the organizers is the men lied about being non-binary.

The article reports that this year's tech job fair had lines out the door implying its a less tight tech labor market compared to recent years.

That dislike was by accident. So, should be expect tech salaries to go down? Too many college grads with tech degrees?

Nothing is perfectly synched when it comes to the economy as there is always hysteresis

so boom - bust cycle repeats

now there is a glut of tech workers compared to a couple of years ago when the tech companies were on a hiring binge ?
