It opens avenues for abuse though - for example, you can say that you were the UX lead on something big, while omitting that it was an internal HR app or something else where UX is an afterthought. Even better, you can claim that you were in fact a senior product manager of let's say iCloud and who can say otherwise (it's not easily verifiable on Linkedin or in any other way).
- saagarjha 6y agoThey can call your previous employer and confirm your claims, you know.
- FlyingAvatar 6y agoAll pretty much any company will say about you is the dates you worked and the title you had. They’re not going answer anything beyond that by policy. I would also say this happens pretty rarely.
- saagarjha 6y agoAs such, I assume they will say you were not in fact an iCloud lead but were actually an ICT2 engineer. Plus, there’s always the risk that your former coworker is on your interviewer team.
- xyzelement 6y ago>> Even better, you can claim that you were in fact a senior product manager of let's say iCloud and who can say otherwise I guess that's a hypothetical risk, but in reality they'll ask you a few behavioral/situational questions and if your caliber is off they'll know pretty easily.
