:
This reminds me a conversation I had with my dad recently.
Dad: "You know, you should be applying for some sort of retail job just to get yourself by until you get a real job."
Me: "Yeah, I know. But it's not easy to get a job anywhere that they know you're not going to be there long-term."
Dad: "So? Tell them you'll be there long-term."
Me: "They'll see it on my resume that I have higher ambitions."
Dad: "Change your resume, then."
Me: "And what do I put in there for the last four and a half years?"
Dad: "I don't know... Make something up!"
Me: "Weren't you telling me last week how easy it is to tell when someone is lying on their resume?"
Dad: "Yes, but you won't be detected."
Me: "Why?"
Dad: "Because you're smarter than the people applying to work for me."*
Then the conversation went around in circles for several minutes as I objected to lying on my resume on general principles and dad told me to do it anyway.
* Dad is a lawyer and he's been trying to hire a new lawyer for his firm. Apparently the standard of young lawyers out there is rather poor.
