That sound like a fun idea.

Is it illegal to use a fake name for such interviews, or rather - can it get you prosecuted, i.e if the company would get really salty and sued you for their incurred manpower? As long as you don't submit any fake legal documents, just sending a fake CV with fake name and creds, maybe going to an interview or two, only to bail out before providing anything legally binding, is it a persecutable crime?

If companies can catfish prospective employees, then interviewees can catfish prospective employers.

That being said, the law almost always stands on the side of corporations.

"Right to work laws are for equality from the employee and employer."

"NOOO DON'T YOU USE OUR TACTICS TO GET THE MOST DESPERATE WORKERS POSSIBLE!"

Right to work laws are anti union attacks and nothing more.

Exactly! It was propaganda to the public that it did anything else.

What do you think? Why not do it under your real name? No harm in interviewing with a company, getting to the final round... Some higher up VP or exec, and then telling them that you could do their job better than them cause you aren't a soulless ghoul like them. Be careful they might be into that dominating kinky shit & offer you an exec position.

I wouldn’t use your real mobile number.

Likely only if you’re receiving unemployment benefits
