This exercise exhibits practices that have become bad vices in the job market, such as appreciating a candidate simply for having worked at companies like Facebook, Google, Netflix, or Microsoft.
The bad practices that recruiters follow and that have been demonstrated with a false CV, raises questions about so many theories that have been written about it.
A false CV unleashed unemployment offers and with it a professional has demonstrated the potential that a document of this type has, despite containing traps.
Angelina lee is an unemployed professional at the time she carried out an interesting experiment of inventing a CV With all sorts of traps, which he wiped out recruiters and this belief that they actually analyze the resumes that come to them when they are looking for talent. The experiment was published in Reddit.

Angelina Lee realized this when she noticed the responses she received with her CV, where she invented having studied at the University of Berkeley and having work experience on Instagram, LinkedIn and Microsoft.
According to the unemployed engineer, who carried out this exercise in part as a mockery of her working condition and in the other part as a study of why she could not be hired, 90 percent of the companies to which she sent her document responded to her deceptions despite including the names of porn stars, for the simple fact of having invented the passage through companies that he called FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google).
