Dear Smoke,
You have to help me. Short version, I lied on a job application and got the job. I now discover that I m grossly under-qualified and I’m afraid of getting fired. What should I do?
-Under-qualified
Hey Grossly Under-qualified!
My brother, where are you from? Here’s the 411…many people are grossly under-qualified and still seem to hold their positions. Questionable studies show that 98% of people have either exaggerated or lied on a application at least once in their lives. I’d suggest that you remember the old saying, get to work on time, look funky fresh, fake it until you make it; and hope that the rest of the people at your workplace are as bogus as you. Wait…. You don’t work for me, do you?
Smoke
