Show HN: Lie on your resume – Applie-AI

On HN

The first time I tried to get a part time job I was surprised by the difficulty in getting a yes. But it was inevitably because my resume was empty. Then one day I had the though: "why don't I just lie, who would know". It didn't work instantly as I was too ambitious and when they asked for references, I lost everything.

But then I took a step back and decided to say I had worked at a niche charity shop near me and boom, got the first job I applied to. I thought, I have to let other people know this is the best method, as employers are far more unfair than this.

Any feedback on the site or service, even the landing page would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Imagine not only committing fraud but making it a service for other to commit fraud

In their FAQ section, they say:

appLie-ai helps you bend the truth in ways that get you noticed, but always encourages you to stay safe and smart. Use your best judgment and never claim skills you cannot back up!

Is this enough? I don't know.

Things are getting a little confusing. Cluely, a startup that helps ‘cheat on everything,’ recently raised $15M from a16z! Is Cluely legal and ethical to use? Legal in some places? Possibly. Ethical? Much harder to argue.

I only say 'lie' to drive attention but it's not actually lying and more so 'amplifying' which doesn't get people in trouble
