Bluffing the way to glory

Folks where do you get to see the biggest bluffers and Bullshitters? Any thoughts...

dont think too much. Just get into any of the Business Schools ( pls leave IIMs out of this league. only the essay GMAT based schools) and just have a look at the profiles and essays and CVs of the candidates .. Good lord!!! If you happen to have some common sense you will be stunned to see the amount people bluff in their CVs. Its so appalling!!! take my word, if you read the CVs you will feel that the present days CEOs , COOs and CFOs forFortune 1000 companies are underachivers compared to what these people are. .. My only question..

Doesnt the admission team know how to validate a person's CV or letter????

Our CV books were out today and i was just having a look at it and was seriously shaken, dissapointed , angered and irritated by the amount of LIES people told.

Eg . A student in a 2nd tier eng college in a 3rd grade City gets sponsorship for some 50K GBP.. i just converted the amount.. 40 Lakhs!!! what nonsense.. even sarang is organised at a budget of around 20 Lakhs in chennai...

the next one is still better. there is this character who writes , is a COMPUTER SCIENCE ENGINEERING graduate was instrumental in setting up india's leading brokerage firm ( read ICICI DIRECT.) i just thought about some history when did ICICI direct start and it was somewhere in 2002 ( pls correct me if wrong) and then this character mite have been in first year of engineering ... isnt it stunning/irritating ???? KV kamath , Kalpana Moraparia , Chanda Kochar .. are you listening?? we have an esteemed ex-colleague amongst us who is trying to sell herelf hard.. pls recruit her..

Come on. you can just say blatant lies and that too of this magnitude.

Ok a disclaimer .. i dont say that i am a saint .. even i add spice. i mite call an OX a Bull . but boss here you are selling a donkey as a Horse !!! Isnt something called guilty conciousness not there in people's mind ?

No wonder we see madoffs , rajus and stannfords in this world... and when bluffers like this come to business schools and learn the art of telling a better polished lie , i am thinking how many more madoffs and stanfords will be made in the coming years????

God.. pls save this world!

Think that is the crux of capitalism. A big bluff in the name, soul and form of money.

I reckon the interview team would just consider it as a plus point. Just becasue this guy could beautifully fake status reports(like Satyam), cost estimates(like Satyam), progress charts(like Satyam), employee count(like Satyam)...isnt that the truth(meaning Satyam)

Now that's a revelation. I was under the impression that they were genuine coz they had a reputation to uphold. I feel sad and sorry for them now.

@darkblue: may be you shouldn't be as disappointed with Satyam. Sometimes one is overwhelmed with the thought of keeping up the socil status than dignity. Most people happen to put aside dignity for a while.
