Lying to get a job may seem to suffice for the immediate need, but the burden of that lie might linger much longer probably because you may never stop watching your back
Thank you so much for sharing that! It really speaks to how our system operates, doesn’t it? If someone doesn’t have the education but can still perform the job, it raises a big question: was the education ever the real barrier, or was it just a checkbox? Specifically, for the job you’re referring to. The system seems to reward those who stretch the truth to get through the door, but it also makes me wonder—how do we rethink hiring so it values what truly matters: the ability to do the job and thrive in the role? I actually think it looks different for every industry and every organization. Thank you for commenting!!
I appreciate you so much for sharing!!! I feel the same way - our system is flawed. And I love the visual you drew with the parallel lines because it showcases the relationship between profit and authenticity so well.
There is space for those of us that believe there has to be a better way, too. Your comment actually makes me think about this deeper. How do we remain authentic yet still care about the bottom line or how do we care about the bottom line while remaining authentic? That parallel you mentioned needs to intersect at some point... this system just doesn't allow for it. Thank you, again for sharing your thoughts!!! You definitely broadened my perspective. 💙

Exactly. Not only do you have to watch your back, but you also lose respect for the company. You were able to fool them.
I liked your article and make sense. I came across one person who go job based on a foreign degree and that person never attended the college.
