I've lied on every job application and have a successful career because of it. If I'm asked to do a skill I've lied about, YouTube rescues me every time.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with a media professional located in Europe. They've asked to remain anonymous for professional reasons, but Insider has verified their identity and employment with documentation. The following has been edited for length and clarity.
A month into my job, I was asked to use one of the main cameras the company uses. I was in the office, at one of the biggest media companies in Europe, so I had to look like I knew what I was doing. In reality, I had my phone between my legs with a YouTube video showing me how to turn the camera on.YouTube has taught me more than my degree. I'll just find a YouTube video on how to set up a camera, how to expose an image correctly, or how to use a piece of software.
Applying to jobs in this industry is seriously depressing, you could apply to 50 jobs and only hear back from three of them. I've seen my boss sift through hundreds of job applications and it's a shame, but being brutally honest on your CV will just fail to make you stand out. Let's be honest, everyone lies on their job applications a little bit.
