I’m using this “career gap” hack to stand in for a ton of “unethical” advice on Reddit that boils down to “just lie,” and it’s kind of bogus.
In theory, lying can solve a lot of problems, but in practice, it is very difficult to do successfully, and the difficulty increases in direct proportion to the size of the problem you’re trying to weasel out of—it’s easy to lie to your dog about the walk, but it’s nearly impossible to lie to a cop about the bloodstains on your shirt.
Verdict: Semi-useful
