A young man was repeatedly rejected. Some said, "You're not fit for this role," while others didn't reply at all. As hope began to fade, he did something unexpected out of frustration. He crafted a humorous parody resume—purposely filled with absurd and funny details. For example: "32 years of experience at age 30," expert in "Telepathic Debugging," PhD from "MIT, Hogwarts, and Coursera," ability to work without coffee or oxygen, and employment at "Google X Quantum Labs" and "Meta AI Department." He even wrote how a company had to replace him with 30 engineers because they couldn't afford him!

In a viral Reddit post, the user shared how, after receiving countless standard rejections like "not a fit for the role," he decided to channel his anger by crafting an outrageously silly tech resume. He explained, "One day, I was so fed up with recruiters, I channeled my rage into making a ridiculously parody CV to spam applications and waste company time. It was my form of therapy."
What Happened with the Fake CV?
One day, his resume reached real recruiters and, astonishingly, the very companies that had previously rejected him began inviting him for interviews! Alongside, several recruiters praised his resume's brilliance, stating, "What an amazing profile! We want to talk to you."
