- tzakrajs 8y agoThey also gave a fake reference number implying they were prepared to pose as someone else to social engineer. That is beyond lying on a resume.

- vidoc 8y ago> This is not a catfish. This is a person lying on their resume I agree, the author uses "Catfish" because it's cool to use a word that you know your reader will have to google, a bit like using a TLA. Anyhow, "Catfish" is a cool word nevertheless, and I am proposing we reserve it to people who climb the professional ladder exclusively thanks to their online identity. Typically, an engineer who does a lot of public speaking, who uses github to host repos of files that actually contain not a single line of code. A mini celebrity of engineering that end up going from companies to companies, generally hired without being whiteboarded, who at the end of the day is just a dud.
