I'm severely underqualified for the job I do. I was
looking at jobs on seat with over one hundred K
and most I couldn't do. But there were a few
called training assessor and communication specialists, and I thought, how
hard could that really be? Dummy by resumetors, suit to
qualifications and experience they wanted. I got an interview, so
(00:51):
I crammed the business and what they were about, googled
the name of a computer program right to Know, and
completely bluffed through it and got the job. They didn't
have for any referee details, proof of the degree I
don't have. Still here after six months, still bluffing my
way through on six figures.

the job.

And way back in the day, I used to drive
promotional vehicles.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
And I was working for a radio station in Sydney
which will remain nameless. And I had set on my
resume that I had a manual license.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I didn't know, and.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
They required me to go and pick up a car
that was going to be used as a giveaway from
a dealership. And the radio was on the north side
of Sydney. I had to cross the Sydney Harbor Bridge
at five point thirty on a Friday night. I bunny
hopped in a brand new car, in a brand new
car that was a manual I bunny hopped the whole way.
(02:17):
In fact, it made it onto the traffic reports of
oh wow, is brand new and it was a Holden.
This brand new Holden was seemingly broken down but kept
moving Sydney Harbor Bridge.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
You lied because I said I could drive a manual.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Carves out if you want to.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Get involved with this. Subsequently, I've made all of my
children get manual licenses a penny of Parkinson.

I'm basket robed, I am a heavy right.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Hang on your you're waking up, just like oh God, okay,
join the club.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Heavinly, just like all my light. I have just faked

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, okay, But how is that play down in the workplace?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I don't know.

who's just got like a major.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
That like you know, I'm going. I guess you don't
want to put yourself in.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
We can.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
We can keep you anonymous if you don't want to
give us your name, but you but you're you're.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Right sign or a brain surge.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Someone driving heavy machinery.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Goes is Oh yeah, yeah, I can drive a tractor. Sure,
thirty one.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Oh sixty five.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Today's story seemed to people sort of quite divided as
to whether or not it's okay.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I was looking at jobs on seek with over one
hundred k doming by resumetor suit to qualifications and experience
they wanted. I got an interview, so I crammed the
business and what they were about and completely bluffed through
it and got the job. Still here after six months,
still bluffing my way through on six figures.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
See the problem is that in any other country other
than Australia, most people would think that was appalling.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Yes, but there's something.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
About our convict past where we think if you can
get away with that, you're you're a legend.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
I mean, imagine if they were a medical professional.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, see that. There's places where it's okay, it seems
what is it? It seems like whatever role he's doing,
it's okay, is it?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Though?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I mean like someone else who actually could do the job?
Like there must be so many whispers behind the scenes. Yeah,
and how does he like, how does he actually pull
it off?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Anyway, Mark of Klanga, you're not happy about it?
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Why a lot of people don't realize that the national
cost of the company if this doesn't if your prevation
period doesn't work out, You've invest a lot of money
in the person based on their resume and they've absolutely
filled you pull the ball over your eyes. You have
to go back to that hiring process all over again
and start again. Really, so, no, it's not acceptable.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Mark, How do you find someone out like that?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Like, how do you actually because there's so many protocols
in place that if they've got the job, to get
rid of them, you know, you've got to have one
warning letter then a second, Like it's not that easy, and.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
That's where it gets expensive. You're still paying them a
salary and they're totally incompetent, can't do the job. Now,
with Google all thatts of stuff, you might be able
to fudge love you, oh mate has Yeah, but you
know earlier, Yeah, before Google all that sort of stuff
come out, it had come out pretty damn quickly that
you don't have a clue what you're doing, and you're
not suitable for this job. And during your provationy period
(05:58):
you're out start again.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
You're annoyed. Mark it annoys you absolutely. Have you seen
it a lot?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, I've seen it a couple of times. I've been
in jobs previously where I've been a supervisor where I
have had to do the hiring process, and it's it's
very annoying that I had a lot of confident candidates
and you picked one person out of that, given them
the opportunity, and you found out that they've absolutely lied
and they've got no idea what they're doing. I've got
I'm really provision in an XL first questions, Can you
(06:27):
do that one?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Jesus?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Yes, you found out quick.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
And I've thought a person was perfectly confident, but you
went with the other person. No, you know it's regret.
I should have picked that other person over you. And
we're here again.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Your damn voice of reason.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Man, there is a person in Brisbane. There'll be others listening.
I wonder if it's my boss. Yeah, I wonder if
it's the guy that's telling me what today?
Speaker 7 (06:55):
Can I tell you? In the world of acting, a
resume is your CV okay, and all the different things
you've and might be able to do. And as a
as a website called showcast and all actors filled out
and directors go, they're going to get people for shows.
Can you roll sketch? Yeah? Can you speak in that
a language? All different things. A couple of years ago
they were filming the latest Pirates of the Caribbean. When
(07:16):
out here on the reef, So you want to play
a pirate? Have you sailed? Take it off? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I have.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Like if I've been in a city cat once, my
dad will be rowing fishing once.
Speaker 5 (07:27):

Speaker 5 (07:44):
Trash of morning side.
Speaker 1 (07:46):

bit from a recruiter saying this is not a good
thing to do. But you are living proof. You can
fake it till you make it.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
I totally fake it till you make it. What I've
done the same thing. So, like I've never ever led
a team or anything like that, don't even really work
good with people, but I'm now like the best team
leader there because eventually you're faking, You're going to learn
on the job and you don't fake it anymore. You
(08:19):
just make it. And sometimes look, if you do stuff up,
you've usually got a team that you can blame.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Right, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
So you're not in any sort of like medical situation
where someone's life is at risk.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Oh no, no, we don't know, not with people's lives.
Just no, nothing like that, nothing serious. But it's easy
to do. You can totally fake it till you make it.
And then like you learn on the job, guys, like
it's like being you know, I like.
