People can have opinions about me, thats fine, but this isn't an opinion. This is taking what I say out of context, to support their own narrative. So you get the video. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/activity:6825845156034482176/

She called you “famous KZfaqr”. You’re making it, but you ain’t faking it. 😊

She had an agenda - pure and simple. She was using your video as a hook to get people to read her post and get more engagement. Nothing more, nothing less. You were simply caught in the crossfire. Keep up the good work Josh!

I like how she says "just to feed their families and pay their bills" like... yes, that is the main point of getting a job. She said it like folks were going into cyber security "just to fund their vacations". Wild.

He is definitely correct . I actually get interviews now after taking his advice .

Let’s talk about how many times Employers/HR Reps/Job Posters blatantly lie on their job listings…

Not lying is hard. People can't say "hey, my last manager had narcissistic personality disorder and fired me when she realized my wife was pregnant so she could feel powerful." In that situation, you'd have to lie or you'd seem like you're dogging your last employer. And here's the real tea: they want you to lie. Why? Because you're showing them that you're playing by their rules. If you have to lie to get their approval, they're the Gods and you're the peasant.

LOL, LinkedIn middle managers be like "only one of us can lie and I already did so stop!"

Somebody once told me that a job interview is 2 BS stories meeting each other.

At the bottom she says “hire someone with no experience because they feel comfortable asking questions.” I cannot be the only one who got backsassed and treated terribly for asking a question about something that was taught to me differently by two different people on the job and asking for clarity got me treated like I was incompetent.

You better stop Luke, or they'll cancel the pizza party!

I looked up the post on LinkedIn and some people are sticking up for you and explaining that she didn't watch the video all the way through so it's good so see people speaking up for you, Joshua.

The most angering part was when this lady talks about people exaggerating their knowledge and experience "just" to feed their families and pay their bills. She actually uses the word "just", as if this is a trivial matter that shouldn't drive anyone to get desperate. 😡

Clearly you are hitting too close to home for them. You are exposing and telling the truth about what is going on in Corporate HR. Their hiring practices are unrealistic. Now they are trying to undermine what you are saying. Keep up the great work!

Fake it until you make it, it's so negative for companies, but there's nothing negative for them to say Work hard to play hard because they can exploit employees and nobody will say anything.

This just shows she didn't even watch the video. She just look a the title, drank the corporate kool aid, and took the video out of context.

Detective Naomi - Way to be a noble corporate sellout foot soldier. I'm sure you're very proud.

Seems like she's trying to "fake" being a good leader to "make it" to that CEO slot. "Hey everyone look at my total ignorance and virtue signaling on linkedin but not actually linking the video so you can see I'm actually lying about what it says!!" "Tee-hee". Definitely qualified for the C-Suite.

Because of job gaps, I've been unable to apply to the jobs that I desired and had to settle for Customer Service jobs. Good video

"we care about our employees wellbeing" is the real "fake it until we profit"

“..just to feed their families and pay their bills.” Is this woman serious? What greater reason to lie than that? Even if your video said exactly what she insinuated that quote invalidates her whole post. It’s disgusting that she clearly doesn’t respect workers (with families and bills to pay) so she needs to cool it. That is truly scum behavior. I hope she rethinks this post upon seeing your response (even though we know she won’t, I wonder if she lied on her resume or application materials about reading comprehension lol)

When I was trying to do tech freelance recruiting I would research the technologies they were asking for 4yr, 6yr, 8yr, 10yrs experience in and these technologies would often be less than 2yrs old. Zero respect for these clowns, they ask for something impossible and can't be bothered to do 5 minutes of research.

I was taught not to put dates on my resume at all because dates can show your age and lead to ageism, on top of being judged for job gaps. Just list the job, what you did and how it is relevant. Most resumes are glanced over anyway and set to the side in seconds.

If people didn't lie on their resume, theyd literally be homeless....there are lots of people lying

I advocate for lying on your resume because employers are always on that bs

Let's face it they also ask for alot and try to give you peanuts for it so... Some positions don't require 8 years of experience

No you are absolutely correct. Ill go one further, teaching your kid to always be honest in life is a recipe for disaster. Teach your child to always be honest with you. Tell them you cant help them otherwise. Give them the discernment to know when honesty is not the best policy.

"JUST to feed their families and pay their bills!" JUST!! Lol wtf is she on

“You should be allowed to be a student regardless, whether you’re experienced or not” that right there was perfectly said.

Naomi needs to work on reading comprehension and listening skills.

I lost at "Just to feed their families and pay their bills" As if this was something absurd LoL

Lets never forget that Gary Cohn completely lied about knowledge and credentials about trading to break into trading on wall street. Ended up being the CEO of Goldman Sachs. I hate all of these morality plays. Everyone lies and breaks the rules. If you dont, youre an idiot who will get nowhere in life. Your ability to know which rules to break and when and how much to lie is a skill that can get you almost anywhere in life

That person definitely manipulating as well as misinterpreting your words, Josh.. Glad, you pointing out to clear up the misunderstanding that she made..

Morals don’t pay the bills. Shoot, as long as I actually know how to do the duties, I’ll say whatever! These recruiters are cutthroat!

I've lied countless times on my resume and every single time I've gotten a job that decided to expand my responsibilities beyond the job description and what was discussed in the interview. I guess we both had bridges to sell.

I worked for a car rental company as a “Customer Sales Manager” and I always thought the title was grossly incorrect. My resume has always shown “Sales Operations Manager” because I felt that title was more accurate. I was in charge of sales and operations for the airport location.

I was only taken seriously when I lied on my resume. Literally got my first job because of this guy’s advice, thanks again Joshua Fluke

And yet everyone on linkedin keeps on quoting the Richard Branson quote: "If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes - then learn how to do it later!" lol

See if you're applying for a job and you know you can do it then what's wrong. They ask 50 qualities in job description and you know that you don't know all, so what are you gonna do? Tell them that you can't do or just pretend you can do and you can learn in the job. Most cases you will not be given complex stuff from beginning, you will start slowly so there's nothing wrong. Target is to get a job.

The day that employers stop lying will be the day I stop calling that year I didn't feel like working a "sabbatical" on my resume.

I came to say thank you for your advice man. I got the job from literally this advice. I stayed to hear Josh give this lady the smoke.

I immediately got the job I wanted in QA after I lied about the freaking gap and years of expirience in the resume. Got a raise three months in, a thank you letter from the customers and now they use my design as a model for all the test cases because of the QoL changes I introduced. As it turns out, I was completely honest in the interview and didn't lie about what I can do (because you literally can't do that). Get mad, boomers.

Glad to see a information security director over looks things like a simple Video with a simple message.

You are my hero. You speak so honestly. The confines that people like her try to create around people and human potential is the reason why people feel so isolated and alone. People need chances.

Employers questioned me vigorously about a 3 month job gap during the pandemic where I was laid off. These employers have no shame. You'd think this pandemic would've been enough for them to have an iota of decency, but no, it's not.

Her response in her comments was: "I understand that point. My point is that you can hire someone with no experience, deliberately" and where are these job openings in tech?

"Lying on your resume" was the first video I watched on Joshua Fluke channel, after spending months on end trying to find a job after surgery. He provided realistic advice for those with job gaps. Not attaching the video to the post is shady. Happy to correct that in the post's replies! 🤗

“Fake it until you make it” is by far the best careers advice most people could ever hear. Almost everyone I know who was successful did it to some degree. The people who never moved up are the people who got pigeonholed doing the same job they had been doing for years.

100% would not have got to an interview or the job if I didn't exaggerated then clarify like you instructed. To companies that constantly lied and never clarified information

Josh is guaranteed 100% more honest than the companies he applied to.

Josh is fired the fuck up in this one. And I completely understand why. I've watched a lot of his videos over the past few weeks and this man speaks so much truth, it's made my fuckin head spin. It's a complete insult when someone who is uninformed will just decide to attack someone of integrity who is trying to help people get out from under the corporate thumb and stop drinking the damn kool-aid. The haters aren't worth your time, Josh. I checked out the post and a lot of people are coming to your defense. Just keep on doing your thing and producing great content!

Yo is asking for 8 years of experience for a simple/entry level task a sneaky form of age discrimination?

A recruiter making a rash decision based on media she actually didn't observe? Shocked. Shocked I tell you 🙄

Such a great point about companies lying. They get to lie and people going for the job can't? HAHAHA...ohkay. The company should be smart enough to test the person or get to the grit of the person to know if they're a fit for the job. So true. The job post writers SUCK at writing such posts. They have no idea how to write a job for a writer. I've seen so many....ugh.

Joshua. From the heart, you make some or the most honest and useful content on the internet. I'm not in IT at all but what you say applies widely. The problem people have with you stems from the fact that you think logically and speak precisely. Emotional types don't know what to do with that. And that's way over half of society.

Josh you are doing a great job with these videos. Your videos are making headwind and touching upon corporate nerves.

One of 2 things happen here. Either she was born with a silver spoon and everything was handed to her easy or she’s at the top now and forgot what it’s like to start a job making experience to finally make it into a good job. I believe that we must do our best to provide for our families instead of being a rock on the road like that lady is doing

I watched that video. Changed a few words in resume, now I'm making more then ever at an awesome company.

A lot of people lie to some degree on their resume. Even those that don’t think they do

Congrats on being recognized as a famous KZfaqr though, you have made it 👏🙌

Has anyone noticed the job titles that are trash talking Josh? "Product Owner" "Director" etc. These people either lied on the Resume to get where they are or was given an opportunity. Either way they are saving face on nasty things they did to get where they are and preaching, 'do as I say not what I do'. Imagine to be so fortunate in life to not know other peoples desperate motives

13:45 Hey Josh, your Dave Ramsey popped out. You need a break bro ahhahahaha

100% Agree With You!!!!

You make difference....this is the proof ........Keep Working......expose these type of corporate fellows

I have job gaps because I am fiscally responsible and can afford to stop working for several months at a time if I need to quit a job I hate, or just need some time off. It's funny that companies look down on people that leave jobs they are unsatisfied with and who are financially stable enough to stop working. It makes sense though, they want someone who is dangling by a thread financially so that they can Lord that over them. When you don't blow your paycheck every Friday at company happy hour, you can afford to leave the company.

I'm a Junior Recruiter, Josh is right, not entirely, but mostly, like 85% right.

Love your rant responses, I have the feeling that video vill be removed soon tho.

A lot of IT people say they are familiar with something like Cisco Meraki... even if they only did the online free trial...

Would you recommend putting ongoing projects on my resume, talking about what I've done so far?

I lied to get my current job. They like me enough to give me two raise and bonus for my hard work. Coming up on an one year anniversary. Always sell yourself

Haters/Corporate simps gonna hate!! On the bright side she knows you’re a famous KZfaqr!!!

Lmao Naomi's LinkedIn post is getting absolutely roasted 🤣. Yiiiiiikkes

Josh is the hero we need 🔥

*These employers only seeking out overqualified and/or currently employed people for a job is like a woman only looking for a monogamous partner in men that are already in a relationship or men that are abject womanizers.*

11:02 Joshua "Johnny Bravo" Fluke!!!!

I am currently going through this right now. I've been out of work since covid and during my job search currently I just unexpectedly had a stroke. How am I going to explain that in a resume? So NO!! my last job is still current on my resume. I am still competent in what I do in my field, Josh is right, a lot of these requirements in these job applications do not make any damn sense as you won't really be doing the majority of them anyway.

She either didn’t watch the video or skimmed through it. Either way, this looks bad on her. Imagine a director making decisions based on titles lol. Reminds me of that part/line from the simpsons movie, “I was elected to lead, not to read”

09:30 - Corporations instead of training, they can outsource it to uncle sam and the taxpayer via Student Loans.

I put that I'm a freelance artist during the gaps- it helps explain experience without the official corporate titles/employers and I can explain more in an interview. If you do this, have stuff to show.

When I apply to jobs requiring driving experience for CDL I have legitimately 3 months and a drivers school certification. I always put 1 year and then explain later--it's either that or ZERO...which is a waste and will automatically filter me out.

When she says it is better to learn while you are student . It’s kinda hard finding an internship since many companies are asking for pervious internships and a high gpa ~3.50 and above . How are you suppose to learn as a student ?

We did what we had to do on that post on linkedin, so people can actually watch the video and see how deceiving that post was.. how would a post actually say that lying is terrible and yet has a huge amount of DiSiNfoRmaTion

I used to work for a head hunting firm for a hot minute in 2012, and I’ve got news for that woman: all resumes are a work of creative writing. My main job was crafting resumes. Job calls for a bachelors degree? No problem. Even if you did one semester at community college your program was a BS program or BA program. Leave off the graduation date and Viola! You just landed an interview. I’ve gotten skilled workers jobs who never finished high school. They proved they could do the job but lack university pedigrees and were excluded from the applicant pool for that reason. It was costly for these job seekers to hire us (1.5x their 1st month’s salary). I worked with doctors and architects and engineers who were educated abroad but couldn’t find work in the US outside of food service or janitorial work. These people were way smarter than me and the job requirements just pissed me off. Some trustifarian douchebag who barely managed to graduate from an Ivy League school was turning down jobs while very smart and hard working people were cleaning toilets.

I mean at least he gives a solution intead of the trillions of post to Keep positive lol!

I didn't know you were famous . Congratulations 👏. Lol

FYI to all: All of Josh's advice can be applied to dating. Thank me later.

Dude, you crack me up, you are so right. The funny part is as 'Director of InfoSec' it's her Job to correctly dispel any misinformation and yet she can't even be bothered or even have the recourse to watch/listen to your video properly, and then has the audacity to call you out. Obviously, her ability to research information accurately and professionally needs to be seriously reviewed. What a complete and utter embarrassment for her and the company.

I actually had a 1 year job gap ( i had money ) because i wanted free time and brain energy to focus on learning web development. After that i really had issues with the interviews because of that job gap, they wheren't even calling me. So i modified that gap, made it smaller, and the interviews started happening and then i got a chance to explain myself, but before this i didn't even had a chance to explain the gap. So...Joshua helped me a lot with that video.

Imagine having someone in a Director role in your company who can't even be bothered watch a video that they are ranting about.

D1 college alums get preferential treatment in being hired and promoted

After 10min to the video I felt the amount of emotion poured out. It is sad how our society is easy to manipulate just because people grow without reading books and thinking on their own. Rather relying on other people opinion, who often are labeled as 'experts'. Lots of demagoguery from the side of people like this lady from LinkedIn and those who provided her approval. No facts checking, happy opinion sharing on topic they don't know about. I guess we just need to accept the sad reality where we live, and carry on with the best of luck!

Thank you Bro! You perfectly understood my situation. I'm constantly pissed off at jobs NOT asking me TECHNICAL questions. They often admit that they don't have technical skills themselves, saving that for the next level of interviews. I refuse to PAD my resume, yet I'm constantly treated like I am by these people looking for the skills I have. Many times the recruiter is trying to convince me to LIE on my resume by putting FAKE information in there. I always think of this rather than lying to people: "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive" Shakespeare

I disagree about "you'll learn a lot better when you're a student". As a student, your professors are teaching you theory. On the job, you're learning how to apply your skills to the real world and are being taught / influenced by people with experience in that business.

she has made the place where she currently works as confidential. I don't know what that means. Is it a new way add privacy to your profile?

I always "lie" about my job dates and even omit some jobs out of my resume AND interviews. And I never have a problem getting hired, background check and all 😅

We don't run background check in Europe, usually. However there is 1 month to 6 months test period where you can get fired if you don't know how to do the job. Rarely happens but gives security to company, because after that you get permanent contract and they can't fire you for life.

Looking at Naomi's picture, I'm going to guess she wears makeup. Seems she is OK with altering her appearance to make herself look better for improved social status/make herself look more appealing, and yet somehow thinks it's wrong when someone does the same thing to a resume?

What pisses me off is this all virtue signaling, we all know damn well these people lied on the resume to get where they are at.

It's interesting how companies ask for what they don't want. They don't give a $hit about honesty. They want a candidate they feel fits the company culture and can demonstrate they are the solution to their problem, period. Anyone who disagrees is in denial.

Her post says a lot about her perception of others.
