Slacker Tips #224: Fake Your Job References
When you make up that fake resume for your next job interview, coming up with some references can be a challenge.
For myself, I usually have friends play the part of a past boss or I get a throwaway phone number and take care of it on my own. I’ve also setup fake company websites to really make the fake company on my resume look real.
If you can’t do any of those things, someone out there wants to offer you a fake reference for a price.
The site is called CareerExcuse.com and it is not cheap.
It looks like the base package is $125 for set-up and $30 per month, with the first month due in advance. And prices go up from there.
In all seriousness, if you really need a job and it hinges on a good reference, I would pull the trigger on this. Assuming that you can’t take care of it on your own.
For me, I wouldn’t use this service because I can do all this on my own. However, if you don’t think you can do it on your own I say go for it.
The fact is that lying on your resume and using fake references isn’t illegal. That’s why those of us that know this always land sweet jobs.
