Forage virtual experience - can I omit the ‘Forage’ part in the title?
Currently forming a cv for spring weeks and am thinking of putting down some forage experiences which I’ve done. Only thing is, the forage aspect makes them look pretty tame and some say they add zero value. Would it be okay to put virtual insight day at XYZ bank, omitting the ‘forage’ part, so it’s not lying. Any help would be great.
So you want to omit a fact in order to deceive the reader into thinking you did something that you didn't.
That's almost the dictionary definition of lying.
I can see why one would be against doing so, but it isn’t lying.
I'd double check the definition of lying
I’ll bite - if I were to say ‘XYZ bank virtual work experience’ instead of ‘Forage/XYZ bank virtual work experience’, there is no lie.
You believe the Forage course seems tame so you are trying to deceive the reader into believing you did something more [competitive/prestigious/important etc] by deliberately misrepresenting your experience. That is lying.
The Forage courses are pretty meaningless as experience points. That is their nature and there's nothing wrong with that. They show an active interest in the job and they help you figure out what you want to do better - could even help with motivational answers. You do not need to and you should not lie about them to give them utility.
Hope that's clear.
I take it you think it shouldn’t be done.
Yes it is not allowed as according to the Forage guidelines. Everybody in HR knows what a Forage Experience looks like, they know JPM don't do "Virtual Insight Days". Yes you are dumb trying to prevaricate
Thanks for the comment - I will make sure not to do so. I haven’t done actually done it yet fyi, hence I am on this forum.
bro if you need to resort to lying to try and get in, you are not destined to be in banking. go to big 4, i think they're hiring bud
