My unpopular opinion (and I'll eat the downvotes) is that CV fraudsters don't get prosecuted nearly enough.
It's not just faceless billionaire companies you're fucking over, it's the other candidates who actually put in the effort to become competent at the job you lied to get.
I'll never get my head around the popularity of the idea that lying on a CV doesn't make you a liar.
I mean, honestly, this shit won't let up until the companies that hire them are fined. Advertising for such a requirement should carry with it the obligation to check. Would also cut down on those companies that demand such but won't pay accordingly.
