In terms of employment In the IT sector, I have the skill set (been In the scene for over three decades), but due to dropping out of high school early, I don't have any experience (job-wise) or certifications.

As such, the fake resume comes Into effect.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Cool stuff, I already have an industry and specific position in mind. Something that I've been studying as a hobby for almost 2 decades and have plenty of skills in, but very little proven professional background.

Was wondering about references.

One idea was to fake a job posting in the field and get people to send me their resumes and references. Then I'd take one of those people, let's say with the same first name, and pretend to be them when applying and use their references. That way the references would be legit, but it creates a bunch of other possible inconsistencies. Not least of which would be my different last name.

Ideally I'd have some trusted allies pretending to be a reference from a real company... I've seen liars for hire at "careersexcuse" and "paladin deception" etc, but not sure if they can deliver. Maybe I'll make a post on the Sinister market.
