When you lie on your resume but still get the job

Ever pulled off the world’s worst explanation of a movie you barely remember, and halfway through, you realize… yeah, nobody here knows what I’m saying—including me? Honestly, that’s just the start of the chaos.

Sometimes I’m that one person at a concert, surrounded by hardcore fans, pretending I know the lyrics but actually mouthing random syllables, praying no one notices my elaborate lip-sync scam. (“Fake it till you make it,” right? More like, “Fake it till the song ends and hope you survive.”)

Then there’s the ultimate panic: you land a job that you might have slightly exaggerated your skills for. Suddenly, you’re a kid, standing over some kitchen setup, looking totally lost, clutching a spoon like it’s a runaway lightsaber. People look at you, and your inner monologue is just screaming, “What even is sauté?!”

But honestly, my favorite part? That moment when the mask slips and you have to admit to yourself (and sometimes, with your whole face), “I have absolutely NO idea what I’m doing.” The deadpan stare says it all.

If you’ve every felt like you’re one awkward move away from being exposed as a total amateur—welcome to the club. At least we can laugh about it, right?
