    Oride,

    Trust me man that degree is going to keep you out of so many hr/recruiters trash cans.

    Yeah with IT you can get by without a degree, but more and more you can't make it into the interview without a degree or am internal reference.

    I was looking for something like six months with 5 years of experience and in the damn Seattle area where IT jobs are thick as weeds, and I deff blame that on my degreelessness.

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    Your nephew seems like a really shitty person, I'm really surprised after renting that you associate with him anymore.

    I dunno about him being shitty for wanting to take a good job he heard about, I don't think he has an obligation to tell me about leads like that (I feel like he should but that's different)

    I mean he really isn't shitty, once he got the hiring notice he told me I didn't have to worry about rent anymore until I got some better work - which is huge

    I just really hope for his sake they don't figure out what he told them in the interview was a load of shit and fire him

    Y'all nerds probably played Deus Ex Human Resources, right? Anyone got recommends for must get augs? And must avoids? I remember swimming was useless in the original. The lung aug for breathing poison gas is jumping out as real pointless this time. ;P

    So far I grabbed the energy recharge thingy, cause I see a lot of smacking mooks in the face becoming a thing, the lift heavy objects and hacking level 2. My next was probably gonna be the social enhancer, cause I loooove the dialogue...

    I think a super important part of staying sane is realizing it's normal to have emotional upset over things you shouldn't be upset by if you take it all vulcan-like, and accepting that as okay.

    Deus Ex: HR, and many games like it, does a weird thing where most of the really neat weaponry is kind of off-limits if you want to get the "good" ending, since rampant murder is apparently "not ethical."

    I've always wanted a game to provide more means for both lethal and non-lethal combat if its going to guilt me for murdering one of the thousands of nameless guards that stands in my way. If you want to guilt me for horribly murdering people, fine, buy how about giving me something more than "stun gun you get at the start of the game" when the murderbot route gets superdeathlasers and spinningdeathpinball.

    Was probably my biggest gripe with Dishonored. Its not the difficulty per se, but the gameplay of "sneaking up behind dude and bonking him on the head and repeating for an hour, next area" gets really old.

    Well... Some places do check after they hire you. I've seen several times the new hire getting disappeared after about three weeks for just that reason.

    But still, that degree gets you in doors. It's all about getting into the interview to ply your bullshitting skills.

    That's.. like.. big, BIG red flag that will hurt him severely in the long term.

    We've had some employees who claimed things that turned out to be not true in terms of experience. It hurt us BADLY, and we are now much more strict.

    well if they do figure it out and fire him I *will* give him shit for it, because I definitely could have gotten it and my work experience isn't made up (I can still apply but like, I think they might realize the relation)

    I'm not advocating lying but if you lie and get a 55k a year job where before you were making minimum wage

    Then in 3 years they want to promote you and that includes some automatic degree check and you get fired

    165k vs like, 51k

    I wouldn't lie about anything completely verifiable. "I have a degree from X" is objectively true or false. "I have substantial experience in field Y" is a matter of opinion.

    Tends to put you in a vulnerable spot, since your application and the facts disagree, and there's a clear record of both, so there's no ambiguity about whether you lied or not.

    Right like my resume says I have professional C# experience which is *technically* correct but not really (it's only correct in that it's a factual statement but it was 100% making predefined changes)

    You bet your ass I'm gonna be erring on the side of professional java experience, even if the extent of my knowledge is knowing how to read and interpret it...
