Fake Experience and Mass Layoff 

You don"t get a low package when you don't have experience, you just won't get the job, plain and simple :(

I used to think the same way. But I saw people with fake experiences and unethical practices now they're sitting at 27lpa and I'm stuck at 1/5 of them with 8 years of experience. Lol. Believe me. Life is short, don't waste time. Take whatever shortcuts are available and earn more. At the end of the day, whatever you're learning or doing is just to make money.

Started my career in 2018 was forced and put into SAP. Quit my job after 1.5 years and started working in a support team as an analyst ( had known SQL). Worked for 1.5 years again. Covid hit hard. Learnt front end development Reactjs for 6 months. Started applying for remote jobs , faked my experience saying I have worked for 3 years as a front end developer. Was able to answer all the interview questions, lied about my old salary and got into a company with 4X the old salary. Quit that company after working 6 months on contract. Now my resume says I have 4 years of experience as a front end developer and every company only asks about my last company which says I’m a front end developer and my salary is X. Got a 30 percent hike on that X salary. Really doesn’t matter if you’re trying to fake your experience. All that matters is that you actually know what you’re applying for. PS: I’ve also done moonlighting/daylighting whatever you call it. Have worked on 1 contract, 1 full time role and have been doing this even now. Just that you need to adjust your time and finish off the work both sides. 🙂

During my initial years, I've stayed in a room with 11 people because I wanted experience. Experience is not an easy thing to gain.

What u said sir is true..why companies requirements are always for experienced? Where the people will go who has less experience or who r freshers...now even startups want experience of 5 years..cz of these things people r joining showing fake documents. Its wrong to do that, but companies should also think abt considering candidates having less experience..they can give less salary to them..but atleast give chance

its easy to say not to use fake exp, even the start ups wont provide jobs for freshers. If someone is out of college without campus selection, there is no other way to get into the job ( at least for 90% people)

I have suffered same way putting fake experience in initial days of my career. For developer never ever do that . Tester may escape . Then after getting fired I joined a company with 10k salary as fresher . No pressure there as I was new so I learnt stuff without panicking. Then. U can change job after 1 yr and get good salary .

You know why people fake experience, because employers do not believe in learning on the job or training. They do not want to invest in training. I have seen honest people who say that they do not have experience in certain things that company needs getting ditched/rejected against a fake experience. These people definitely falter later. I have seen a lot of people who are skilled to grasp something new as and when needed, but employers do not have any audience for them. With so many new technologies in the market, its not possible for an individual to be aware of everything. All a good candidate can do it be strong in basics. Rest can be acquired in a short time and a bit of patience.

Thank you sir. Your opinion on this context is appreciative. This remainds me of a superstar Rajnikanth's Annamalai movie dialogue - "You'll gain nothing without hard work. And if you do gain in any chance, it won't last for long".

Even the experienced people suffer because of differences between companies from which they got experience.

Faking experience is the basis of success for Richard Branson. He openly admits that: “If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes - then learn how to do it later!” ― Richard Branson

This is exactly my perspective. I just grow with my experience alone so far. Started as Network engineer and now working in cloud computing. What I would suggest freshmen is to explore what the trending technology is and try to work on it.

I have overall 5 year's of experience in IT my pckg is 6.5 is very low. My friend did class attached 3 years of experience now his pckg is 13 lpa. Fake can grow and survive . Don't worry

I would like to mention just 1 thing: If you are able to justify that fake experience, go for it. Companies are not your friend. They won't pay you for what you know but for the years you are working in for start at least. Go ahead and learn as much as you can. Now, learn and learn so you get more money eventually when you switch.

Not everyone can work on every technology.. it is company's fault to keep that criteria.. if a person knows java.. then it won't be really difficult for him to learn C# if he/she does hands on coding.

I think the rampant hiring during the so called "Great Resignation" phase are partly to blame for the situation which IT companies are finding themselves in. I myself with 11+ years in the industry, was in the hiring process, and I know what steep hiring targets we were put up to. We were taking 15+ interviews on an average on some days. There were so many positions to fill up, that our managers were ready to compromise on the quality, just in order to fill up the position. Moreover another factor during this whole pandemic phase was, companies doing online interview drives. You got to interview a candidate in 30mins over a video conference. Its very easy for someone to fake their experience in these interviews. So I dont agree with this high moral grounds the IT companies are now taking and glorifying the reports on the Fake Experience Layoffs. Its an outcome of thier own mistakes and it has wasted a lot of people's time.

I started coding 2019 and got my first IT job in 2021 Nov. Getting a job was my greatest frustration in the IT industry because I needed to switch my career then and I knew nobody but I kept growing. Today I get multiple offers from companies. All you need is consistency.

I know some people who have 1-2 yrs of solid Java experience. But first 5-6 yrs worked as incident management and after that got new project in same company where they have worked in Java with team support. After 1-2 yrs they got 5-6 offer letters and they switched the company. They showed 6-7 yrs Java experience but they had 5-6 yrs fake experience. Now they are doing excellent in current company because they have 1-2 yrs solid Java experience. So once you know how to work on project then fake experience doesn't matter.

Yes, I was one of those who lost job due to recession! I got 3 other offers now after layoff! But I think It’s hard to get through interviews now with little or fake experience

some folks get in MNCs as a fresher and get allocation in support/testing jobs.This is a reason why some fake their resume and try to get out of the job for a better opportunity. This is trending for many years

Fake it until make it !

what you said is right but in the market many companies are asking minimum 4 years of experience with out giving opportunities how can people get experience many people don't have intension to keep fake experience but because of less opportunities and family pressures they are going through it. at the same time companies who hairied 3 years experience person after clearing client round they are saying to client that he is 4+ years experienced person and hey are billing high amount from client. recently one of my friend shared me this his reporting manager said that if client askes you about experience say I have 4+ years of experience. its happening in many IT companies . it need to be changes hear in the all the cases the employee is the only person who got effected.

I started an internship a month ago as a QA. The stipend is decent but I think it's better than struggling in company by showing some 1or 2 year fake experience which most of my friends suggested me.

Thanks Mr. Reddy. You hit the nail on the head. I have seen technologist in this high powered companies and when I engage them with in-depth discussions on AWS cloud Global Network infrastructure, I find them to be not as technical as I thought. Fake ones laid off now will have a hard price to pay.

Thanks for picking this topic sir, please talk on these type of things also.. Love you navin sir

The fake experience of an employee cannot be used to justify the firing of any employee. A variety of other factors might also be involved, such as the company's current conditions, the project's needs, and employee performance etc.. To avoid the company being blamed for terminating an employee, the company discovered a new method of terminating employees

Not all company train people. Technology n company are business. And everyone might need help to do any work, so please spare some time to do it, for someone from scratch as he/she can learn n work better

if they want to fire they can show you N number of reasons to please themselves, every IT candidate including me should always look for alternatives

I do not see a big problem for the ppl who has fake experience with good technical skills. mostly people with fake experience are with 1-3 years, more then that you cant fake it. So with that experience you are still junior, you will have most of the team as seniors. So within few weeks you could learn the things, considering you are already good with the core technology.

I totally agree with you Navin but there is also few points which i like to add. IT world has become too competitive now not only cs grads but people from commerce or arts background are learning skills and getting into IT. Offcourse not a problem with this but I think people should also think of 2-3 sources of income. You cannot depend on 1 industry or company to feed you. Because as Navin said you have to upgrade yourself always but the real question is until when ? Think.

Bro, take a bow!! One heck of a video and a reality check to be done. Its not about just earning big bucks with little or no knowledge but justify your true potential to yourself

It takes a lot of time to start a career as a fresher again after being fired due to fake experience and these days even small companies are looking for experienced candidates fresher opportunities are becoming lesser and lesser day by day and it is effecting so much..

The last point wt u said is absolutely correct....every it company looking for experience candidates they don't want fresher...this is not gud for who completed the graduation and learnt some online course then looking for fresher job....every one asking experience so everyone get fake exp even freshers 🌚🤡

There are many times fresher have no fault it just company is not providing the work as according to their growth. So why do they hire the employees if they don't have work and helping hands in their company? Everyone after graduation and every fresher wants to learn the company's work, culture, and process over there. Why company hire freshers?

So true and apt to the point. Totally agree on experience part. Unless someone gets hired how will they get experience. Need to start somewhere

"Welcome back Aliens" is very funny.😂😂🤣🤣

Wondering about it since morning.. That's a relief to know things in details...Thanks a lot sir 😊

Getting opportunity to prove the learning is what needed, How can one switch to a new domain which he/she is interested and learned? . How can one get experience without getting an opportunity? Asking 3 to 5 years experience for an entry level role is what needs to be changed.

I had jobs in the past and faked the experience. I was taught the experience and Facebook more on that subject/matter. It just takes commitment and concentration. This is with anything and all careers.

Thanks bro But many people struggling with this problem.they r nt supposed to keep fake exp.but sometimes situations demands.coming to myself i hv 9 yr of career gap. I don't want to put fake exp.i want to join as me but no one is going to hire me

You made an excellent point on why companies ask for experience. I understand the company reasoning. The problem is say you have the skills and are looking to switch domains or trying to get back into the industry as a fresher after some gap. Most, if not all companies don't want to hire us as fresheres even if we are okay with it. This is a problem. If no one is willing to hire experienced folk as even fresheres due to domain change, where does that person go to get the experience. Them doing personal projects are ok, but it's not the same impact as that of real world exp. ---------This part is broken.-----------

I will say this from experience - if the person making the final decision on who gets hired has not done that work themselves, they are also faking it as a boss. I work for an international company. When we were small, our senior full-stack developer decided after interviews (after marketing did the leg work of gathering resumes and setting interview appointments) who would join the dev team. You could not fake it, because I had to take a test and then sit with him to go over my answers. Seven years later, our CEO sells the company and retires. Our new bosses hire seemingly ANYONE off the street so long as they are cheap. I found out yesterday that one of the new devs who I'm supposed to escalate my tickets to has NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. It is NOT his fault he got hired. Who ever gave him the position has no idea how to interview because I found out in 2 minutes of chatting with him. He is not a bad person. He is doing his best, but failing because he has no support since his supervisor has no idea how to help him. I will be taking back support tickets next week to "stop the bleeding", but wait and see how this company will deny me a raise when I ask for it after fixing their mistake. What this new hire needed was to work on a team with someone with experience instead of leaving him with others just as new to this work to fend for themselves because experienced developers cost more.

Still I remember When SAP HANA introduced in market, I was trying to jump BI to HANA. one of the company recruiters aked 4 years of experience in HANA, funniest thing is which was launched hardly 3 months. That's S##*ty markets. Honestly, how many techies at least one tool not mentioned in resume' without fake.

I have met so many guys with fake experience- its sad. And package means nothing if u don't have experience! So now when I interview guys I'm interested in dating- I just say show me what you can do forget about telling me about fake experiences or packages

In most of the indian colleges, we don't get the placement and there are few colleges where big companies like TCS, Infosys use to hire the entity mass by having deals with the college management. Those big companies use to hire the entire mass by just seen the face and college name. Majorly the collage which are asking more donations and high fees.

In India HRs have ruined the IT industry. India need to bring CBI kinda watch dog regulatory agency to sit on the necks of hiring managers and HRs to vet the entire process because fake experience is the least percentage of the problem, real elephant in the room is ballooned job descriptions with unrelated unnecessary skillets added like free toppings on the pizza.

Hi Naveen, What is your suggestion to the people who are crossed 15 year's of experience in IT by now. What they need to focus on to work for another 5 to 10 years. Both in india or in abroad. Example: java related technologies exp.

I work as HR, and worked with major MNCs.....What we noticed and common knowledge to all HRs are that Hyderabad, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh candidates are using fake experience and with relatives reference they get Jobs......Most of the companies do double verification of Hyderabad, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh candidates.

I am a mechanical engineering graduate. I was jobless for 4 years before i landed my first IT job.

Problem we have faced while hiring at entry level position is, freshers (or candidates with fake experience) has dream to get job in MAANG with heavy package, immediatly after their certification is complete. This is possible only in exceptional case. Rest of get disappinted and expect something near MAANG in small companies with small projects. I have more than 20 years of experience in what I do. For first one year I have worked for peanuts. Next two year I earned to survive. Next two years I got reasonable package. In my previous job I was highest paid emplyee. Now I charge fortune. Half of my client pays, half don't. All of the my friends in my generation has same story. Since last a decade we have a great work life balance. You need to learn to earn. Learning takes time and efforts in right direction. Today RU-vid is full of "Learn Blah Blah in 3 months and get a gob in MAANG" or somthing similar to exploit young people looking for quick money. Which is unfortunatly a unit of success. While recruiting we don't give F to cadidate's certificates, or educational background. We allow candidate to use Google during interview. We have our own way of selection (or rejection) of candidates. You won't belive, many candidates can not answer the questions even after using Google. One disgusting experience. One guy claimed 5 years of experience (of course fake) in managing web server. We asked him where do you store your DNS records for domain. Registrar or Web hosting server. He answered Web hosting server. We asked why? He answered Web hosting server is the only place you can store DNS records.

Great background, reasonable experience and good track record combine with specialize skill set will get the job done.

Crucial topic at the right time. Thanks!

at work , one can easily find out who is fake and who is exp , im in this industry for 12 years and i can find out by seeing the way a candidate work and manage

I had a career gap Companies even refused to offer me an internship, I was doing Freelancing, one day a person asked me to work for him in the Technology I was good at Later realised that guy had a fake experience, in some companies the HR, Team lead also aware of the fake experience guys, outsourcing their work During those days I work for multiple people taking their pressure on my head I felt bad the same company offers internship to my friend and my friend came to me to solve the assignment

The way u r trying to explain is absolutely correct sir but what about some people with career gap

Originally, the companies wanted to train their employees and bring them up into the culture for 1-2 years before they began promotions. Once the market got full of liars with "fake experience," companies began to lose a lot of money because a complete and total loss of efficiency from that lack of experience that could have been used to make or save millions. I agree with the speaker that it affects the entire ecosystem. There is a reason honesty is important. Companies worldwide need to be able to engage in efficient hiring of new and fresh talent that has the proper background which applies to the company's vision. Lying breaks this efficiency and causes issues in the short and long term.

Thanks Navin.. I have only one yerar of experience and having lot of gap due to my maternity.for getting job i am struggling more but i dont have dare to take a shortcut.Most of people said me that take a fake experience and place in good company.But i follow only the path of struggling.Idont know when my struggle get ends. Your video is motivate me to do more struggle for getting job. Thank you.

I saw one job ad for a junior software engineer on LinkedIn, however, their task description was like senior software engineer and also they want a person with at least 5 years of experience.

Totally agree with what you've said in this video. I'm going to sit for campus placements this winter.

hi bro. I have 15 years of Gaming and VFX industry experience. I have handled many project like VR, AR, Mobile Apps, Gaming, VFX etc. now I am planning to move to Block Chain Tech. with fake experience of 2year. Will I get job in blockchain industry. I can work as a fresh in the block chain but the salary for the block chain which they give is very very low. so I have to put Fake experience anyway Please give me your suggestion on this

Company should first fire bgv team. And every Company should reverify, last 2 year joined employees.

it is correct why do you need a experience if someone have potential to work

Layoffs is nothing to do with Fake experience, it is byproduct of wrong decisions and or lost projects by upper management

I am in technology since 2019. Prior to that I was working in BPO and managing operations with 13 yrs of experience. When I Got to know about Data Science I was like holy molly this is my thing. I love Math and Pattern modelling. Learned Python, But since I had management experience I got Hired as a Project Manager to handle a team. However just managing wasn't my thing. The company for two years didn't change my position or gave me raise where I worked on SQL+Python+AWSLambda ETL products that I coded. I am still a project manager with hands on skill of python, data science, ML, Django dev, flask all by myself. At the age of 36 now I am stuck due to the difference between my position and my skillset. It's hard to tell any company that I more than just a manager.

Sir you are absolutely right but the thought process of companies are not good. They not look at your skillset they mostly prefer experience.

Getting Fake experience is Unethical and even if you Somehow mangae to get In then You will have lot of difficulty in doing the task they will assign you according to your FAKE experience The solution to this is soo soo simple. JUST BE HONEST And Rise Up in your Career with Real Life Experience in a Linear Way.

Nobody question INDIAN HR OR RECRUITING WORKFORCE motives on why carrier gap is tabo. And hiring them for some time and firing some , making some as slaves . Colonization is a different concept. Irony is Truth is out, we need food.

I would say that you should "exaggerate" your experience rather than totally faking it and saying that you have worked on a technology without actually doing fully hands on. Also I think when companies post job openings they always ask the candidate as to what package their current package is and what they expect, which is kind of unfair because although the candidate would disclose their package the company never discloses what is it that they can offer initially. I think there should be a balance in this in some way that the companies can probably disclose a range which the candidate can be offered.

Companies always looking for Experience, experience, experience... They say entry level, but required 5-6years of experience. How this possible? JD itself is fake.. we most of the candidates faking them

Great insight and deep analysis video 📼 sir ❤

Why not starting your own company if you have to devote your life to a job

My company has themselves recruited me as a senior resource despite being a fresher. Now when I sit for a client interview, they are asking me questions which only experienced person can answer. I am unable to clear any interview. Also company has 3 months bench policy. Not sure what should I do.

I keep telling the freshers joining in my team that learn for yourself.. because it will make you survive.

My friends entered In it industry with fake experience . Now they are going very well with higher packages . With good roles like managers, leads...etc

I appreciate his videos. But , he is showing this as the truth in which the candidate is being shown wrong. No they are not. Their actions may be shady. Fake exp letter is a big no. But leveraging an experience letter / RL with a simple detail of no mention of tech and project can work easily. Have skill set that is it. Be smart in interview , tweak if u can cause the cruel capitalist need any excuse to bring u down the pay ladder. If a 40 year old family man wishes to switch his domain , this advice is rubbish to follow when he knows how shrewd the corporate will be and will try to bring him to fresher level of pay if he is honest about his desire to transition.

For freshers who will give chance. Now we are seeing what's the situation for freshers.

Doesnt companies fake lot of things y only employees

Problem is there is very few entry level positions compared to intermediate level positions. Especially today!

Every company wants 5-10 years of experienced candidates, this force the job aspirants to put fake experience.

I' m 18 passout having skill of java spring mvc, boot, hibernate...as a fresher i' m not getting any call for interview..in this situation what cn i do? I dont want to go with fake experience but how? Plz help

yeah exactly, i always think of the same, joining as a fresher when i join in CGI. they gave me tasks on java development, i find it so difficult to complete and i would always think like how a fake experiance candidate can manage this..... still don't know how they do it, if they depend on the 3rd party guys, so to what extent they depend on them....

Hello sir can u tell me who is hiring for freshers ? Those having less than 60 % aggregate in btech where should they go , FYR 50 % people in IT are fake untill and unless u work better nothing happens

Experience might be fake ....but they also struggle very hard to prove themselves.....if you can't get them job why are you discouraging them ?

Very true said with regard to experience after i worked on Java Api for 1-2 year now I have built around 8-9 java Apis within 6 months

sometimes experience matters during the project execution, but showing this as a reason for mass layoff is not at all good, they need to perform a good check before joining or at least immediate after joining, if they really have the policy of zero tolerance in a statement one company said that due to pandemic and project needs we are not 100% sure on the BGV on candidates, so they can bend their rules according to their requirements but to help candidate, at least they would have gave a option to resign voluntarily can be a little help they could have done for the work they did to company during these years.

Why don't they fired post joining or after few months? Do they now after a year got to know as these candidates are fake? Or these layoffs are effects of recession?

One of my good friend didn't got joining in TCS because he had faked experience. I will suggest everyone not to fake documents because background verification companies check your bank account details, PF details. If you said that you salary in your bank account in this case background verification will come as negative and you will not get joining.

There are people who are so called experience on £650 a day and literally struggle to complete the tasks done on a weekly basis. We then have 2 hour meetings to make sure the objectives are met at month end. The following month we have the same problems and talk about the same issues. This is then repeated month after month. The people on £200 a day then state the obvious saying the £650 guys haven't delivered the work and then get told off for speaking up. Mind boggling

what if organization fakes with u - joined a big four organization with a specified job profile, its been 1.1 years still waiting for the specified work. Whenever i get frustrated talk to the reporting manager, he just suggested its works like this. R u working with job profile that has been promised to u or u just doing what client saying. We are working in a complex environment. Product based organization may pay less salary and their u can learn real skill. Consulting firm just focused on resources to claim man month - if they get complain from client, they will replace u, put u in another project. Another client does not know the complaining client, again u get time to do some kickoff- surely, we will not repeat the same mistake. Why so many online skill learning courses booming in the world - udemy, coursera, who are doing this course. Pure milk u can't digest - u must add little water to it which is abundant resource. U CV must be like that which can money for organization. I believe in kicking the football, u just dont know which on going the score. In hindi its says "Thora hat per mar liya karo". In hindi there is a saying "Baap ko mat sikhao"- organization are big fraudsters- they understand and know the things.

Quite informative video for those people, who are misguided by Organizations, who are providing fake work experience. I was misguided by one of the Institute in Noida called "JTC Noida", who does, the same thing as mentioned by Naveen sir in this video. In last moment I came to know the truth of entering the job market with fake work experience. I quit the offer and now improving my skillset so that I can enter the job market as a fresher. I don't think scammers (Who provide fake work experience) will survive in the market in the long run.

Please tell how to switch to development from testing. Can we fake that we worked on development before? How to survive in that scenario?

Our company we hired mostly freshers The problem that we faced due to this Till now in all the encounters that we had the freshers will just do the task and not look at the whole picture the impact analysis of any changes this comes with experience. Planning and implementation we are always behind delivery deadline as freshers always ask for more time to understand and implement even if they have the technology expertise A experienced person will know how the business is getting impacting due to delays and deliver on time Freshers lack official etiquette’s this comes with experience It’s not above experience or fresher but having a proper team structure And of course having a proper hiring process to avoid fake experience

You are a true guide for all the students out here 🤩. Totally agree with all the points Sir!

Thanks you, this is a eye opener video who always find the way to success in shortcuts

i think a fresher who is dedicated and the company who provides training can do the same work with exp

Companies should stop seeing things like name/reputation of college, 10th/12/grad/post grad % and most importantly GAP and give 100% preference to SKILLS of the candidate who has applied for the job. Even if he/she has less %, has studied in a 3rd grade college, has small or huge gap in his/her resume but has enough skills to perform the job the company requires then such candidates should be hired without a second thought... Filtering of applicants should be based on relevant skills only, rest of the factors shouldn't be considered. This way, people won't fake the experience and also won't remain jobless. The companies should start practicing ethics themselves first and be empathetic towards job applicants. Afterall, everyone works for money only.

Pankaj sir academy provides fake experience certificate in Bangalore btm layout area for 36 thousands rupees 🙏

Candidate use fake experience because company don't consider gap more than 2 years..if company hire gap candidate then candidate's never use fake experience. It's responsibility of company's.
