Who is this, and why should I care? There are dozens of unimportant people lying on their resumes. Why is this one newsworthy?

- joezydeco 14y agoMaybe because it landed her in Forbes?
- citricsquid 14y agoSlight tangent: Forbes now takes contributor submissions which are (frequently) worthless fluff pieces, as is the one she is in. It's not by a Forbes staff member, I think they're really killing their branding with the contributor idea. Every time I see a forbes link now I have to make sure to check if it's just someone that applied to submit articles or actual Forbes staff.
- joezydeco 14y agoThat's good to know...and also very disturbing at the same time. Thanks.
- mumbles86 14y agoExactly. My only thought is, why her only? I admire what the author wants to put forth, but why only expose a single person? Doesn't it almost seem like a vendetta? If this is a common practice, then there will be many more examples. A better way to approach this IMO would have been to have different examples and not focus exclusively on one single person.
- praptak 14y agoIf you think it is particularly about her and nothing more then yes, this article is pants. But maybe it has some value as an example+warning of a general phenomenon.
