I’ve come across an idea that I’m sure isn’t original, but I’m looking to start a discourse. What’s stopping you from forming a “club” with your friends and handing yourselves fake awards? Say you’re a Sale’s rep and you want to stand out a little more, you can have your friends awards you “Sales Rep of the year” or “Best Salesman” or “Most Sales” type or awards to just slap on the resume. And when asked about it in an interview, it’s very easy to just say “I was awarded by my peers for my excellent performance.” You can even name the club something extravagant to make it sound legit; “Salesmen of the Valley” or “Western Salesmen Group” or whatever. Just a fake fraternity that you can give meaning to.
