Never needed to. A resume should be “general”, no need to lie.

For example, putting down you have a B.S. in economics. Not you graduated with a 3.75 GPA with a B.S. in economics with a concentration in global fixed income.

Global fixed income! Haha

No. I was always too afraid to get caught.

Absolutely never... On top of that, it's grounds for termination if your employer finds out.

Question for paid search experts who have big agency experienc (e.g. big 4, dentsu, etc.) - is it considered standard to use SKAG instead of STAG, and use alpha/beta structures?...even with the changes Google has made to phrase and exact match? The various agencies I've worked at (small agencies) never use that method.

If you were interviewing someone from a small agency and they said they didn't use those types of account structures, would you think they were inexperienced?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
