He seems to be well versed in the world of make believe, which is a great asset for an institution of make believe.

A dude did something very similar to this in my hometown. New director of the county mental health department. Claimed he was related to John D. Rockefeller and made up a crazy impressive fake resume. Supposedly running all these huge charity and non profits all over the country...like no way a guy with these qualifications comes to our rural town for $100k/year job. The local news paper started investigating. Everyone they called to corroborate his past was very careful to speak off the record and refused to make an official statement on his work history. This guy then threatens to sue the local news paper into the ground if they don't drop the story. Long story short, they drop the investigation, the guys leaves the job with big payout months later and is probably still scamming organizations.
i also lied on my resume when i was a junior dev with about 6 months of work experience. i changed 6 months to 5 years and suddenly i was a well paid senior dev. so although it sucks, i can confirm lying (on resume) is very effective
Honestly I'm past the point of giving a shit what anyone in the corporate world does. Having an objective set of rules in a world where "it's who you know" and such things exist, is a system designed to manipulate. Embrace it or be just another cog.
Good on him I say. He gamed the system and he milked it whilst he could. Normally incompetence shows pretty quickly if you lied, obviously here what they were asking for the job role was never required.
Just shows that those "high level" executive jobs don't actually require technical ability that can be tested. It's all decision making and relationship building. They sit in meetings and come up with ideas. If he's a people person who makes good decisions then he's probably plenty qualified for the job.
@@penguin12902 You make a good point, it seems that once a career advances above mid-management, the only things senior execs. need to worry about is “going to meetings and signing forms” all day / every day.
I was laughing my ass off the whole video! 🤣 I was overwhelmed with surprise at the balls Massimine had to pull such a stunt off. But then again, the worst that can happen is that you don't get the job.
Some of these impostors are crazy talented at this game. There was a guy in Germany - a postman - who basically lied about being a doctor. Gave himself two doctor titles, got hired and practiced as a doctor and psychiatrist for about ten years. He was caught (and sentenced) several times, but he always managed to get hired again and again. Best thing about his story is that he always said his dissertation (which didn’t exist, of course) was about "pseudologia phantastica with regard to the example of the character Felix Krull from the homonymous novel by Thomas Mann and cognitively induced distortions in stereotypical judgment". Pseudologia phantastica = pathological lying. So basically, he always dropped a hint.
I'm legally changing my name to "John Smith" and lying like hell on my resume so when employers call to vet, the college will say, "Yes, John Smith graduated from our university." I'm sure a John Smith graduated from there at some point.
just give number of reference from one of your buddies, girlfriend, parent (under fake name), etc. don't give your actual boss unless you trust them to have your back. i haven't found one yet.
May as well change my name to “Anthony Devolder”, state I got a 3.89 GPA from Baruch University as a star volleyball player and claim that my family died in the Holocaust then. Not that the world would be able to tell the difference.
News trying to paint him on bad light but this guy is quite a legend actually. Goes to show just how much of a joke the corporate world is. As long as you can sway people you get ahead. Honesty and integrity be damned.
Some companies deserve to hire scammers. Unfortunately in this case this is a publicly funded University and out tax money was going to this guy. Shame
The only this incident proves, that all these requirements aren't really essential, it's comes just from bargaining power of employeer, his opportunty to _chose_ on this tight labor market. The entire labor market is rigged, not this small guy.
This really goes to show the value of social skills and being able to present yourself. This dude really tricked his way into an impressive salary and fooled so many executives and hiring managers that pass up honest people everyday.
@@mistersir3020 Well by company or authorities depending how serious the job is. Personally, it’s unethical however, past me would have said not to completely but with businesses becoming more picky depending on the job maybe you could get away with it? Companies can ask you everything under the sun and lie to you but God forbid it’s the other way around! For example, I got called back for Sales Associate. It sounds like I would have been chosen right up until I said I was in school. If I lied I would have probably got the job.
He had money? In my industry you can get Forbes articles for a couple hundred dollars. Those fiverr article offers weren’t even the right ones. You can get a local news story tan on you for a little more too. He could have even done the whole thing on borrowed money if his credit was good enough

I have gotten tons of director level jobs by just making things up on resumes. I've been in IT, HR, Sales and Marketing and Manufacturing management. I generally stay at a job a few months to a year, just to get the experience and buzz words an industry is looking for, then bail for another job. They cannot "see where you worked," you can remove any employment history off your credit report if you're concerned about it. References are easy to fake. I usually give my friends a script, then get them jobs in whatever department I'm working in if I can, though now most of them have stayed in those jobs so I mostly just have them do the reference. Then to get work emails just register a domain close to the business you want to pretend to work for, forward it to the actual site and then you have a believable email address. Tell them you don't permit them to call your last job.
8:20 why not? The guy makes $200,000 a year by lying on his resume. Even if he gets fired he makes more than enough not to not have to work for quite awhile which is the ultimate goal. This guy is proof that your advice works.
I give this guy respect, he is mastermind in interviews! Tiny wimpy Human Resources are even afraid to do background check! But they will background check the rest of population. RESPECT! He came like a boss, and got the job! He fulfilled the most demanding requirement of them all!
A former coworker left my job and started working at a hedge fund as a project manager. He had no experience as one. He copied and pasted his wife's resume. After 6 months when they finally found out. They fired him. He sweet talked his way back into his old job but now as a Junior Project Manager, with a higher salary. And he did it in a way that made it seem like they should be glad to have him back. Fake it till you make it I guess
It’s so reliving to hear that someone else life was a mess and the cards are against him, and he achieved his idea of success. It’s good to know even if it takes till I’m 30 there’s still a chance for me
I can't blamed this guy as the economy is garbage and impossible to get hired. So you forced to lied to survive. I'm laughing at these hiring managers got tricked 😂
And sadly, older adults will pathetically justify his actions... “Well you gotta do what you gotta do. He needs a job.” Whereas if we did it - they’d be upset with us for lying.
They dont want us being competition. Just nature doing its thing. Like a male lion not helping the young ones, because he wants to stay head of the pride.
There was an Italian restaurant in restaurant close to my area with massive LED sign saying, "HIRING COOKS 5 YEAR WORK EXPERIENCE REQUIRED". I really needed a job, and just seen the "5 year work experience" requirement put me off. Fast forward to today, that restaurant no longer exists. Same with a ton of other businesses; you have people that know how to cut hair, yet they can't "legally" work because they lack "beauty school credentials and the state's blessing"..... There are a ton of closed hair cutting places near my area.
corporate world is full of actors and fake artists and people blown up to be 'important' when in fact they're anything but. So whats the big deal about this guy fooling a bunch of fools ? he played YOUR game and won. why get mad about it ? the joke and embarrassment is on everyone he managed to fool. If anything, hes kind of a legend imo lol
Here is the deal though. They can't know your work history from a routine background check. They're checking criminal history, driving record, credit score. They can see some prospective addresses. That's about it. They can contact a school or former employer. To find out if you attended and graduated or what your degree or job title and time of employment were. That is about it. Unless we are talking like a security clearance.
Everyone fails to realize that even though he had no experience he still was the perfect candidate and still is. Which shows why the hell do we still need resumes today? They mean absolutely nothing in scope. The only that that should matter is degrees for professional jobs. Why do i need a resume to be a picker packer at a warehouse? Or to flip burgers at a fast food joint? You can literally train high schoolers to do any of these jobs. Oh you need 1+ years in sales to sale a car lol man stop... all you need to know about how to sell a car is about the car that makes the car interesting or unique because the car will sell itself.
I had a friend growing up that started doing heroin than became homeless on the streets of Baltimore city. Fast forward from high school college days... I ran into him again. He flat out told me lied to get a job in the mortgage industry and presently is extremely high up within Mutual of Omaha Mortgage making absolutely insane cash (talking to the tune of 400k a year) "because I got good at asking folks for money and it translates into sales." It's absolutely wrong and while I'm happy he got his act together, the premise of everything he does is a foundation of lies and it actually is upsetting in same vein. He offered me a job but knowing how he got his position I couldn't in good conscience take it. It would also be hard for me to call him my boss when I know full well he doesn't belong in that position and probably would lose everything of Mutual of Omaha ever found out.
see, my advice works! jk don't do this lmao
too late! I've lied so effectively they made me president! *Help*
that's the reality. While the people with real skills don't get jobs. haha! TLDR

XD this guy nailed the job lying perfectly on his resume, I mean he even paid for fake news, but the son of the Owner gets a Directive position inmediatly after his Bachelor and nobody says anything.
well pedigree and father training son. This is a lie
Makes perfect sense to me. If you aren't a sociopath, don't expect to get past lower management in a corporation.
This goes to show that most jobs don’t require such high credentials and jobs just being an experience diggers like some girls are gold diggers
You’re right just like some women lie about their background to look more innocent and appealing to a wealthy man to pay their bills these companies lie about their success to get employees to run the company cuz they are terrible at it
Yeah the college just wants someone they can show off not someone who can do the job well

Why hate on him? He did something we’ve all wanted to try, more power to him lmao.
This guy is a legend.
I can see why he still has the job, to pull all that off is theatre in and of itself.
Lol this has to be it
This just proves that executive positions are overpaid and underperforming
imao, corporate executives are also one of the oldest jobs in the world.
you know that one that whips those poor corporate sla*es.
His claims of being the director of "Resident Evil" is an indirect admission of him being an evil resident
LMAO

Plot twist: This whole situation is his Master's Thesis for Dramatic Literature.
You have to have dramatic credentials to get dramatic credentials.
Goes to show that higher ups are usually narcissists who can sell themselves
And then they go asking why their culture is toxic

Alot of Rich people with really good paying jobs are sometimes spoiled pathetic narcissist and this video shows it all, if the guy could do the job what the point 😂😂😂
He seems to be well versed in the world of make believe, which is a great asset for an institution of make believe. They make you believe a pièce of paper van be worth a lot and he's a shining example in that departement. Also, no amount of money is to great for the government to just piss away. 36k for a head hunter that does a worse job than reporters who aren't trained in head hunting? Damn!
This just proves people can do these high paying exec roles even without the right "credentials". Good for Chris, he new he could do the job so he made sure he got the job.
Who says he is doing it well
@@azza4793 who said he wasn’t ?
@@VinceEnclaveJohnson well committing fraud off the bat isn't really the hallmark attribute of a good executive. the fact that he is under investigation to me flags he is underperforming.
He does have the credentials. He graduated and worked in the field. His resume is just overblown.
That guys a savage. I’d rather take a class with him than basically any college professor
I lied on my resume, now I'm the leader of Cuba. The pay sucks, I wouldn't recommend it.
This man is no liar....he is revolutionary!
he's an innovative disruptor.
@@ChristopherCricketWallace
"Hiring managers hate him! Find out why".
No, he IS a liar and there's nothing revolutionary about it. People have been lying since the beginning of time.
@@ThisAndThat4All I don't know if someone lied to me that they could fix my broken phone and they fixed my broken phone I really don't care if they lied as I got the results I wanted.
@@asandax6 if someone "lied" to you that they could fix your phone and they actually do, then that's NOT a lie. Not sure what you're trying to proof here
So basically the take-away here is that if you lie on your resume, you might make a fat wage for years and then get fired, and that's it, which is infinitely better than just being unemployed for that whole time?
Bingo 😂
A dude did something very similar to this in my hometown. New director of the county mental health department. Claimed he was related to John D. Rockefeller and made up a crazy impressive fake resume. Supposedly running all these huge charity and non profits all over the country...like no way a guy with these qualifications comes to our rural town for $100k/year job. The local news paper started investigating. Everyone they called to corroborate his past was very careful to speak off the record and refused to make an official statement on his work history. This guy then threatens to sue the local news paper into the ground if they don't drop the story. Long story short, they drop the investigation, the guys leaves the job with big payout months later and is probably still scamming organizations.
i was actually just about to start updating my cv and applying for new jobs, this is just the kind of inspiration i needed right now, thank you joshua
Lol
i also lied on my resume when i was a junior dev with about 6 months of work experience. i changed 6 months to 5 years and suddenly i was a well paid senior dev. so although it sucks, i can confirm lying (on resume) is very effective
This is easily checkable tho 😂
@@henrym.1290 it depends, in my case it wasn't
@@henrym.1290how so
@@henrym.1290so? You get in and you do the job competently, do that and nobody will care enough to do those checks.
@@henrym.1290 How?
He did what he did for himself but shouldn’t have pushed it too far. But he’s got experience now though haha 😂
I call that a win lmao
Yup and when they background check they can’t say anything bad because it’s illegal
Got an experience to scam another company and make it to the top yet again 😂
Honestly I'm past the point of giving a shit what anyone in the corporate world does. Having an objective set of rules in a world where "it's who you know" and such things exist, is a system designed to manipulate. Embrace it or be just another cog.
except this isn't the corporate world - this is public money at a public school
@@Adam.Herbets yeah, like I said, the corporate world.
Sounds like he went overboard, a lesson to us all. You get the job, you shred the evidence.
Good on him I say. He gamed the system and he milked it whilst he could. Normally incompetence shows pretty quickly if you lied, obviously here what they were asking for the job role was never required.
Just shows that those "high level" executive jobs don't actually require technical ability that can be tested. It's all decision making and relationship building. They sit in meetings and come up with ideas. If he's a people person who makes good decisions then he's probably plenty qualified for the job.
@@penguin12902 You make a good point, it seems that once a career advances above mid-management, the only things senior execs. need to worry about is “going to meetings and signing forms” all day / every day.
I can get behind stretching the truth, but this dude thanos snapped like a hundred new truths into existence.
Lmao, he played the game right
I was laughing my ass off the whole video! 🤣
I was overwhelmed with surprise at the balls Massimine had to pull such a stunt off. But then again, the worst that can happen is that you don't get the job.
This dude’s a living representation of the phrase “fake it until you make it”
Confidence and being likeable go a long way, especially in fields with a lot of high level subjectivity.
Some of these impostors are crazy talented at this game. There was a guy in Germany - a postman - who basically lied about being a doctor. Gave himself two doctor titles, got hired and practiced as a doctor and psychiatrist for about ten years. He was caught (and sentenced) several times, but he always managed to get hired again and again.
Best thing about his story is that he always said his dissertation (which didn’t exist, of course) was about "pseudologia phantastica with regard to the example of the character Felix Krull from the homonymous novel by Thomas Mann and cognitively induced distortions in stereotypical judgment".
Pseudologia phantastica = pathological lying. So basically, he always dropped a hint.
😂
I mean at this point the recruiters and people who do background checks are far more in trouble than this mastermind guy
Imagine having a job where it's your job to recruit talent with required skills/exp and fail at that
@@SoFreshBlaze Recruiter also lied in their resume.
@@GriferCraft I find amazing how easy for it is to get into recruiting. I see alot on LI that were doing something else and then became a recruiter
They actually want to blame the university. Lol
@@GriferCraftexactly, i said this!
A true mastermind. This man has my respect.
If he did not have the required credentials yet is able to do his job well, were those 'mandatory' credentials really necessary.
This is the best part!
I'm legally changing my name to "John Smith" and lying like hell on my resume so when employers call to vet, the college will say, "Yes, John Smith graduated from our university."
I'm sure a John Smith graduated from there at some point.
just give number of reference from one of your buddies, girlfriend, parent (under fake name), etc. don't give your actual boss unless you trust them to have your back. i haven't found one yet.
@@asadb1990 yeah that usually works tbh
Knowing how ignorant they usually are in america it would probably work
May as well change my name to “Anthony Devolder”, state I got a 3.89 GPA from Baruch University as a star volleyball player and claim that my family died in the Holocaust then. Not that the world would be able to tell the difference.
Proof merit has nothing to do with success.
Just goes to show that executive level jobs are unmeasurable bs that anybody can do!
Why aren't you in one then?
@@JustMe99999thanks for participating in the discussion
News trying to paint him on bad light but this guy is quite a legend actually. Goes to show just how much of a joke the corporate world is. As long as you can sway people you get ahead. Honesty and integrity be damned.
Some companies deserve to hire scammers. Unfortunately in this case this is a publicly funded University and out tax money was going to this guy. Shame
if he can do the job well, what's the problem.
@@Bayo106 exactly. What does it matter if he does the job well. It would be just the same as paying someone else who was honest.
Sounds like he outsmarted the system. I hope he keeps winning.
The only this incident proves, that all these requirements aren't really essential, it's comes just from bargaining power of employeer, his opportunty to _chose_ on this tight labor market.
The entire labor market is rigged, not this small guy.
This really goes to show the value of social skills and being able to present yourself. This dude really tricked his way into an impressive salary and fooled so many executives and hiring managers that pass up honest people everyday.
It’s probably because he had money to begin with. If a “normal “ person like me did that I would be fired on the spot and investigated!
Investigated by whom? Is it illegal to lie on resume? (asking for a friend)
@@mistersir3020 Well by company or authorities depending how serious the job is. Personally, it’s unethical however, past me would have said not to completely but with businesses becoming more picky depending on the job maybe you could get away with it? Companies can ask you everything under the sun and lie to you but God forbid it’s the other way around! For example, I got called back for Sales Associate. It sounds like I would have been chosen right up until I said I was in school. If I lied I would have probably got the job.
He had money? In my industry you can get Forbes articles for a couple hundred dollars. Those fiverr article offers weren’t even the right ones. You can get a local news story tan on you for a little more too. He could have even done the whole thing on borrowed money if his credit was good enough
@@MDobri-sy1ce Its unethical, yet he won. If game of thrones has taught people anything, it is being a honorable person in a dishonest world will won't end well.
@@dmcoub78 Well, my favourite line in Game Of Thrones is from Tyrion Lannister.

When you listen to Josh's advice too literally
They should make a movie of out this guy. What a legend!
Absolutely. He wrote a nice public apology
Good for him. Just goes to show how lazy and gullible these entitled company people are- demand you must do a ton of work to get their attention but do no work themselves.
You hit the nail on the head!
1:32 Can totally picture Michael Scott saying that, same delivery 😂
Fake it till you make it... Lol
lol if he got paid for even a month he won.
I was gonna say this! haha
I have gotten tons of director level jobs by just making things up on resumes. I've been in IT, HR, Sales and Marketing and Manufacturing management. I generally stay at a job a few months to a year, just to get the experience and buzz words an industry is looking for, then bail for another job. They cannot "see where you worked," you can remove any employment history off your credit report if you're concerned about it. References are easy to fake. I usually give my friends a script, then get them jobs in whatever department I'm working in if I can, though now most of them have stayed in those jobs so I mostly just have them do the reference. Then to get work emails just register a domain close to the business you want to pretend to work for, forward it to the actual site and then you have a believable email address. Tell them you don't permit them to call your last job.
Kind of hard to feel bad for the university since they didn't verify anything, feel bad for the taxpayers though!
Tax payers eyes have opened, so I don't feel bad to cure blindness...
nah Tax payers support him.
Hell he got the job and has been doing a good enough job to keep it.
He's there because he's doing his job. Kind of weird to be and he got a job that's he's accomplishing
8:20 why not? The guy makes $200,000 a year by lying on his resume. Even if he gets fired he makes more than enough not to not have to work for quite awhile which is the ultimate goal.
This guy is proof that your advice works.
I had a coworker who completely lied on his resume to get his job. He was fired after 3 months.
Did he get fired because his lies were discovered or because he couldn't do the job?
I'm not even mad, that's hilarious.
I give this guy respect, he is mastermind in interviews! Tiny wimpy Human Resources are even afraid to do background check! But they will background check the rest of population. RESPECT! He came like a boss, and got the job! He fulfilled the most demanding requirement of them all!
He disliked this video and then paid three more people to also dislike it
A former coworker left my job and started working at a hedge fund as a project manager. He had no experience as one. He copied and pasted his wife's resume. After 6 months when they finally found out. They fired him. He sweet talked his way back into his old job but now as a Junior Project Manager, with a higher salary. And he did it in a way that made it seem like they should be glad to have him back.
Fake it till you make it I guess
They believe him how he looks (had to say it) I have background in that industry and they always fight me on my true experience … this is sad
It’s so reliving to hear that someone else life was a mess and the cards are against him, and he achieved his idea of success. It’s good to know even if it takes till I’m 30 there’s still a chance for me
Dude I’m loving this lmao Josh you rock
Well, he's working in the arts department, he's proven he's creative as fuck if nothing else. 😅🤣😅🤣
"Everybody Lies" Dr House this is no shock to me at least.
I can't blamed this guy as the economy is garbage and impossible to get hired. So you forced to lied to survive. I'm laughing at these hiring managers got tricked 😂
Sounds like the university dropped the ball. The univeristy fell for it hook, line and sinker. Good on this guy, i love this for him!!!❤❤😁😁
He just trolled the whole recruitment/HR industry 😂😂
And sadly, older adults will pathetically justify his actions... “Well you gotta do what you gotta do. He needs a job.”
Whereas if we did it - they’d be upset with us for lying.
Hahaha or calling us entitled for not earning it.
They dont want us being competition. Just nature doing its thing. Like a male lion not helping the young ones, because he wants to stay head of the pride.
All i care to know is if he did a good job after all. Because then you will know none of it was necessary for the job.
Am I the only one that thinks this dude's a legend?
What this video taught me is to lie on resume and a little in interview to get your first job and then folllow the path of honesty
There was an Italian restaurant in restaurant close to my area with massive LED sign saying, "HIRING COOKS 5 YEAR WORK EXPERIENCE REQUIRED".
I really needed a job, and just seen the "5 year work experience" requirement put me off.
Fast forward to today, that restaurant no longer exists.
Same with a ton of other businesses; you have people that know how to cut hair, yet they can't "legally" work because they lack "beauty school credentials and the state's blessing"..... There are a ton of closed hair cutting places near my area.
Meanwhile all the honest candidates were looked over 🙄 what a stupid system this is
They deserve being clowned by that guy.. any one who knows an ounce about his claims would have realized his b.s
I'm gonna pull what is widely considered an FBI move and take "don't do this" to mean "I am ordering you to do this"
corporate world is full of actors and fake artists and people blown up to be 'important' when in fact they're anything but. So whats the big deal about this guy fooling a bunch of fools ? he played YOUR game and won. why get mad about it ? the joke and embarrassment is on everyone he managed to fool. If anything, hes kind of a legend imo lol
Here is the deal though. They can't know your work history from a routine background check. They're checking criminal history, driving record, credit score. They can see some prospective addresses. That's about it. They can contact a school or former employer. To find out if you attended and graduated or what your degree or job title and time of employment were. That is about it. Unless we are talking like a security clearance.
Everyone fails to realize that even though he had no experience he still was the perfect candidate and still is. Which shows why the hell do we still need resumes today? They mean absolutely nothing in scope. The only that that should matter is degrees for professional jobs. Why do i need a resume to be a picker packer at a warehouse? Or to flip burgers at a fast food joint? You can literally train high schoolers to do any of these jobs. Oh you need 1+ years in sales to sale a car lol man stop... all you need to know about how to sell a car is about the car that makes the car interesting or unique because the car will sell itself.
Amazing. I have failed through honesty and integrity. Amazing.
If I were the university I'd sue the company they paid $35,000 to verify this guy's background information. Looks like they got double scammed.
I had a friend growing up that started doing heroin than became homeless on the streets of Baltimore city. Fast forward from high school college days... I ran into him again. He flat out told me lied to get a job in the mortgage industry and presently is extremely high up within Mutual of Omaha Mortgage making absolutely insane cash (talking to the tune of 400k a year) "because I got good at asking folks for money and it translates into sales."
It's absolutely wrong and while I'm happy he got his act together, the premise of everything he does is a foundation of lies and it actually is upsetting in same vein. He offered me a job but knowing how he got his position I couldn't in good conscience take it. It would also be hard for me to call him my boss when I know full well he doesn't belong in that position and probably would lose everything of Mutual of Omaha ever found out.
