Now let's talk about it. What up, what up, what up, what up, what up, what up? Welcome to Talk Your Shit Daily. And I'm your host, Big Slick. As always, we got another great show for you today. But first, I want to give a shout out to all my listeners. Whether you're at home, at work, in your car, all the truck drivers on the road. I appreciate you tuning in. And if you didn't subscribe yet, hit the button, man. Look, check it out. We're gonna jump right into the show today. Today's show is about should I lie on my resume? Yes, man. Look, first of all, who does not lie on their resume when they're trying to get a job? Who who who you tell me you don't lie? You don't, you don't stop. You're lying right now if you're saying you don't lie on your resume. Why not, man? Everybody dresses up their resume for the job that they're going for, right? Like, come on now. Why, why, why wouldn't you? Every you're telling me everybody out there actually put down the truth on their resume. Get out of here, man. You stretch it on your resume. And first of all, when you go on a job anyway, you're gonna get trained to do the job, right? So why not stretch the truth a little bit now? Now, if you go in after a job with a particular skill set, then of course you you you can't lie on your resume. So don't you know, don't act like you're going out, you know, for a mechanic, you working in an auto body shop and you know nothing about cars. Like, come on, you know, that that's not gonna work. Like, speed realistic. But if you going out, you're going out for a job that it's not really a particular skill set like that, then you can definitely stretch the truth, get on a job, and get trained to do the job because a lot of jobs, anyway, gonna teach you the way they want you to do it anyway. So if it's dealing with any type of computer software, right? So say you already, you know, you computer literate, but they're dealing with a different software you might not have dealt with. But on your resume, say you dealt with that software somewhat, like you familiar with it. Because when you get on a job, only thing they're gonna do is pair you up with somebody and train you how to work on a software anyway. So definitely lie on your resume, man. And this is what you do, you gotta put down uh a family member or or a friend as a supervisor. So when they call, they can pick up the phone and give them a good reference. Come on now, this is big slick. I'm trying to help y'all out there. Then another thing is this when you handed in your resume, when you're doing your resume, it's not good to have a million jobs on your resume. A lot of people think, Oh, yeah, I worked here, I worked there, I worked there. That's that doesn't look good on your resume. It looks like you can't hold a job. That's what it looked like. So if you worked here for a year and then you worked here for two years, and then you worked here for six months, and then you worked here for a year. Well, what a why would I hire you? Because you're just gonna work here for a year or six months and then leave. So you you shouldn't put that down like that, right? If anything, if you want to stretch how long you was on one particular job, do that, but don't put down a million jobs on your resume. And another thing to do, you need to adjust your resume based on the job that you're going after, right? So if you going after, like I said, like whatever, if you going to be a mechanic or something like that, don't put down you work that target that that don't have nothing to do with being a mechanic, right? You need to put down something that goes with the job you're trying to get because that's what they pay attention to. They don't really look at the other jobs, they look at the jobs that's pertaining somewhat to the job that you're going after. So that's what you do, and definitely again, come on, man, lie on your resume. Okay, if you don't like the word lie, stretch the truth a little bit, you know. I mean, who cares if you were a cashier, but down you worked in finances. Come on, man, come on. This is what we do here. You already know what it is. I'm trying to help you out. This is big slick. This has been a quick episode. This has been a good one. In and out. I already know what it is. Somebody asked me this. I had to put it on the show. Would you line the resume? Of course. Listen, I appreciate y'all tuning into another episode. You already know what I do. I'ma talk that real. She's neck, man. Till next time. Peace. I'm big slick and I'm out.
