I have been looking into virtual employers to hide some gaps in my resume, mostly from when I started my own business. I wont go into details as to whether or not using a virtual employer or any kind of "alibi service" is moral or ethical. But I want to know if anyone on this forum has used a virtual employer and can share his experience? Or give a recommendation to point me in the right direction.

I got into the fake resumes after I read a study about white ex-cons get more job offers than black with equal qualifications with no record. Being Black man I had to take drastic measures:

I used the reference store from 2010-2012 and careerexcuse from 2008-2011.

Both provide you with a website and a number for background checks. But careerexcuse jacked their monthly fee frm 30 to approx 60 which sucks b/c their cust serv is abysmal. The chat feature on the site doesn't work and the phone line only seems to be open M-F frm 9-10:30 EST, and they don't return voice msgs. I suspect only 1 person works there.

Reference store, imo, is the better bet. The give you a local ph # and a ok-looking website(never had a site for careerexcuse). I fooled HR reps at several major companies(HSBC, Enterprise Rent-a-car). Cust serv is much better. You get a case-worker and his e-mail and ph#(they in Wyoming). The reference letter adds to the authenticity.



Here's my system:

1) Get a spoofcard after you set up the site and call the number posing as a HR rep to get name, rank, and social # to if it's ok. If not call them and tell them what happened.

2) Make a good W-2 form, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=W-2+software , the software is hella cheap and they sell the official paper. Sometimes HR asks for it.

3) For more info I'd also search for "fake resume" guide and get it. You need every edge in the job market. I've emailed the author and gotten good tips from him.

4) Get your resume game up!. Search online for "guerilla resumes" and make yours look like that with the images and quotes. I've been complimented by HR reps and Mgrs mid-interview re: my resume.

5) Don't discuss your faking with friends. They will always disapprove. Why? Read the intro to the 48 Laws of Power. They don't want you to do something that potentially gives you an edge over them.

If you sign up with alibi, can you let us know how it pans out? Good luck.
