Hey there, antiworkers! I'm in a bit of a bind and could use some advice. Right now, I'm working at Starbucks and DM-ing professionally in D&D on the side (Inbox open if interested. Always be selling, amirite?). But I'm barely making ends meet and I'm tired of being stuck in bottom-of-the-barrel jobs.
Besides D&D, what I'm passionate about is data analytics. I've been doing it as a hobby since I was a kid and I've taught myself SQL, Excel and Tableau, but I can't afford to get any certifications or degrees right now. I'm confident that I could excel in an entry-level position, but my resume screams food service management.
I've applied to dozens of jobs, but haven't had any luck. So, I'm considering falsifying my resume to highlight my data analytics skills. I know it's risky, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Have any of you ever lied on your resume? Any tips on what to avoid or how to pull it off convincingly? I'm open to any and all suggestions!
TLDR: Tired of working low-paying jobs, I'm passionate about data analytics but can't afford certification. I've applied to many jobs but my resume doesn't reflect my skills. Considering falsifying my resume and seeking advice on how to do it convincingly
