The Corporate Ladder
You send in the resume reflecting your real work history.
"Honesty is the best policy," your mother always used to say.
After several days, you decide to call the company to make sure they got your application. The person who answers says that they received lots of applications and that she can't be bothered to sift through them all right now. Attempts to call in later to reach the person making the hiring decision are always met with the answer "he's in a meeting right now."
Meanwhile, you apply to other jobs, always very honest about your experience and abilities.
After three months, your savings are depleted and you are forced to move in with your parents.
After two more months, you are committed to a mental institution where no one ever visits you and the only things you have to look forward to are Tuesday Chocolate Pudding Night and the times when the guy across the hall occasionally suffers from the delusion that he is Harry Belefonte.
