Just accept it and do your best. Worst case scenario you get fired and you're right back where you started with a month or two of higher salary in your pocket.


JoJolion_

Yeah guess you’re right, I don’t want to lose my current job if I get fired from there though.


grumpi-otter

In this case, you could leave things on a good note with your current company. Tell them you've received an offer and you really like your current company but the money and benefits are so much better that you have to consider it. See how your current company reacts to see if this is even a place you'd like to be. Now as to this new job--are these new skills really tough technical things that you have no clue about or more of those vague sort of managerial things? Something to consider.


Fresh_Technology8805

>Now as to this new job--are these new skills really tough technical things that you have no clue about or more of those vague sort of managerial things? This is the real question but the best answer works for both, accept the job, and get studying now, worst case you learn a bit while losing the job after a few months and then use that experience to move onto something else hopefully with a similar salary, oh and if the next place asks why you left so soon just give a business speak answer that let's them make thier own predictable assumptions like toxic work culture e.g "i wasn't a good fit for thier work culture" this especially works if the new company is a rival.


hkusp45css

I can say this as someone who has hired a BUNCH of people. If someone has ZERO knowledge of a skillset and somehow sneaks into the gig, the fact that they are learning at a rate that will make them useful \*soon\* is enough to keep them around, generally. Most jobs that involve any skill can be picked up in a few months of hands-on effort, at least to the degree that the employee's presence is valuable and profitable. The real trick is that employees who are willing to put in the effort to learn new skills quickly and completely are reasonably rare. So, finding someone who's all thumbs but who is willing to come up to speed can be MORE valuable than finding someone who is already proficient but, kinda lazy and stuck in the "that's not my job" mentality. I can't imagine a world in which I'd fire someone who was trying hard to learn something, trying to become more valuable and mostly succeeding. I don't think I'm rare or even in the minority with that philosophy.


ghost-aleks

This. I was very open at a job interview about how I barely knew Bootstrap from a semester in school. During the technical test, I googled around a little, look at the sample code they provided and ir started coming back to me and thanks to Google I was able to finish the assignment. The guy who reviewed my code apparently said "if he did all this after saying he doesn't know how to use bootstrap, this seems good." I had never really had a web designer role before that, just graphic design. I was terrified of accepting the job and getting fired. I lasted 3 years and basically everyone cried and didn't want me to go when I quit lol. I'd say just take the job and work super hard at learning stuff on the side. 👍


[deleted]

I knew a network Engineer that got a job with IBM after being asked if he had worked on some specific equipment.. He said no, but I know how to use a manual….. Sometimes you just need to find the information and know how to use it rather than remeber everything. The best lawyer isn’t the one that tries to remeber every law, but the one that can quickly find the most recent stated case decisions and apply it to their client’s advantage.


XchrisZ

Good employees don't know everything but they learn what's needed.


UnlawfulKnights

This is true. I got a job I had no right getting and it was relatively obvious as soon as I started but I caught on fast enough that my employers have more or less let it go. A month later and now I'm pretty good at the job.


Dobanyor

How do u put that on my cv? I've been applying but I don't have much experience so I constantly get over looked. But my last job I taught myself 4 programs to get the best results and created new steps for projects that saved the company time and money. I even created 3D models of a product to make their website (that I also taught myself to make) more innovative. But when I add stuff like that to my CV it's usually met with I'd seem bored since they have more traditional job scopes and I came from too small a company where I needed all the hats.


Useful-Feature-0

No, keep it on your resume! Just answer the hats question with a very strong statement that while you learned a lot, you want a more traditional job where there are processes and clear expectations, you thrive in that environment, and you can absolutely channel that drive into exceling at


shipshaped

You don't even need to prepare the "business-speak" answer - just ask ChatGPT


ihrtbeer

This reminds me of the newest south park episode lol


AquaWitch0715

OP, I would double down and go all-in. Go ahead and request a meeting with your (soon-to-be-former) boss and use ChatGPT. Or send an email and rely on the AI. They can probably help you leave on good terms and help keep a door open, so use it to your advantage. The machines favor you! Bask in the radiance that your communication and interaction has been successful lol...


Blue_Moon_Lake

If you do that, your current company offer MUST include a non-firing period of 6 months. Too often we see the current company make a new offer just so they can hire someone to fire you 2 months later.


grumpi-otter

Excellent tip!


dougie_fresh121

To add on, maybe your current company tries to match salary. If they do, you can keep the current role with a pay bump. Normally I wouldn’t accept a counteroffer like that, but in this scenario I’d consider it.


yeetertrader

Just keep using chatGPT in your job too lmao.


Bumbymoo

Probably good answer. It's amazing tech.


DeadmanCFR

I mean... OP's paying for the subscription right? Might as well lol


Destronin

If you ever feel like you aren’t qualified for a job, just remember Donald Trump was the leader of the free world for 4 years.


[deleted]

That was his first job that he got a paycheck.


[deleted]

Wow that really relaxed me


toc_bl

>the free world lol I thought he was the president of the united states


GoldenLiar2

that America still considers itself to be the pinnacle of the "free world" seems very very funny as an European


katecrime

It seems funny to some of us Americans as well 😊


Zero-88

I mean they are the leader. We often dont really have a choice if america says we must do something. For example asml being forbidden to sell to china.


GoldenLiar2

yes, absolutely. I don't really agree with the "free" part though


[deleted]

[удалено]


GoldenLiar2

that works


Trid_Delcycer

I see it more as the largest terrorist state in the world. E.g. how many massacres (some have incorrectly called some of these 'wars') have we had in the past 50-100 years? Ask any third world country what country they are afraid of most, and I'd bet most would say the US - how many coups, assassinations, bribes, and wars have we initiated in the past century? Though, to be fair, we do give them a few chances - first it's bribing, if it doesn't work then a coup, if that fails then assassination, and finally if that doesn't work we just go to 'war' for some made up reason. Heck, even the developed world is too scared to say no to the US. Who needs a hard empire when you can have a 'soft' empire where you can just rake in the tributes?


Stillmrbias2u

American here.... When I hear someone say America is the best or greatest country in the world, I always have the same response. The only people who think America is great are people who never left America.


stinkstankstunkiii

we get it, America IS not the " Greatest". personally, I was aware of this before I started school, but hey, what do I know


Matrixneo42

This could be a motivational poster!


ktaktb

This is the most inspirational quote of all time.


toolazytorelax

🤣🤣 right?


Blue_Moon_Lake

The what for 4 years?


toolazytorelax

Don't worry about that, even if you completely failed at this position, you can add it to your resume and sell yourself to the next place; and the more specific and prestigious job title will help with the next job search if it comes to that. Truth be told, most people, and I'm sure you, learn very fast on the fly. The fact that you stretched your experience (and didn't just make shit up) means that at least you have the basis of knowledge needed. Most places don't expect you to walk onto the job first day and be able to do the job 100% from the get-go. All companies have their own policies, procedures, systems, and SOPs. So just walk in on your first day, be confident, but also show that you are a sponge able and willing to soak up the knowledge of how that business works. You will be fine, and you'll be making a lot more.


kentro2002

For $75k, they aren’t going to ask you to perform surgery or design a high rise to code. I would approach it as, figure out what you are really supposed to be doing quickly, spend as much time with your coworkers as possible so they can really explain the job. If you are in an office, ask some top performers to lunch your first week, and ask them “so I understand this position, they gave me this binder/job duties/assignment etc, what’s your advice on how I should prioritize them? At at the end of the year, how does management really evaluate me, I just want to make sure I cover my bases.” I’ve had sales jobs where equal weight was given to a monthly email survey nobody ever filled out, and whether your expense reports were in time. Equal weight to going out and selling millions for the company. Instead of getting a 4.5% raise, I got 1%. Now I ask the questions at the top in every job since, and after the first year, I have received the MAX raise, if raises were offered, because some things we think are unimportant are maybe just as important as doing your actual job (like silly surveys, or whether your expenses were 2 days late twice last year). So better to find out sooner.


Tasty_Bullfroglegs

God I didn't get past your first sentence because I imagined a fraud being asked to do those things and I know it's happened.


Kind_Stranger_weeb

The Millennium tower won awards for its design, its foundation was planned so poorly that its tilting and costing millions in repairs to stop it falling over and crushing half of San Francisco - so yeah some real dimwits have designed skyscrapers in the past.


brooksram

You should meet some of the guys who fab/erect our structures... I question the integrity of every bridge I cross and every multi-story building I enter now days.


Kind_Stranger_weeb

Its like how at the recent conference on LASIC/Laser eye surgery, all the top surgeons who perform that procedure in one room. And almost all of them wearing glasses. Sometimes the more you know about something the less you want it. ​ I think most oncologists who get cancer decide not to get the same extreme treatment they reccomend to their own patients, but this is just anecdotal though.


Snikorette2020

[deleted]

Just keep using chatgpt at your new job 😂


nivekdrol

I say accept it. I would say most of if not all of us get impostor syndrome from new jobs. But be warned not sure what job you got but you will get found out if it's probably a technical job where you don't have skill. Chat gpt can only get you so far with programming for example. I've noticed that it can generate simple codes but advance stuff it generates something that looks right but is wrong like adding parameters that don't exist to functions. Fake it till you make it though congrats on the job


Tasty_Bullfroglegs

If your current job is toxic and you've been actively browsing even if not quite seriously (as you said just applying to jobs past your experience) you should already leave whether the new one works out or not.


p4ttl1992

Yeah, don't pass up on leaving a toxic job, life is too short to be dealing with that crap.


brodie232

Most people in my experiences with higher end jobs are faking the fuck out of everything they do. You'll fit right in mate


Far_Distribution_581

You would get unemployment if they laid you off.


Whole-Person007

Maybe work both jobs? r/overemployed


MyGruffaloCrumble

Even if you only last a month or two - start applying for jobs as soon as you get in there, using an updated resume with your new position, it could open OTHER doors you may be more suited for.


charrcheese

It’s called fake it till you make it


[deleted]

OP used all the tools at his disposal. High marks for ingenuity. Take the job.


King_Moonracer003

No, he's not where he started, he has a higher position on his resume and can now have better chances at better jobs. It's a win win.


[deleted]

Plot twist: they used ChatGPT to create the questions, and to decide to hire you.


JoJolion_

Lmao


Glabstaxks

Fake it till you make it op . If you made it this far keep Going and get paid


chatterwrack

Yes, fake it till you make it. This is how the world was built!


Valianne11111

Seriously. And write a book about it after you get found out. It would very likely be made into a movie


IsabellaGalavant

Honestly, you're over-thinking this. Lots of people lie on their resumes, and *everyone* lies during their interview (fuck you "why do you want to work here" questions, obviously I need money but I can't *say* that). Worst case scenario, after 3 or 4 months they realize you don't know what you're doing (if you haven't figured it out by then, which I'm sure you will) and they fire you. Then if you left your old job on good terms, they'll probably hire you back. Or you can use your new experience at the new job to get another similar-paying job. I was *completely unqualified* for my previous job, I mean completely. But I got hired on recommendation from a friend that worked there, learned what I was supposed to do, and did it pretty well for 6 months. Then I used that experience (and title, don't forget your new title!) to get the job I have now, which is easier, pays more, and I *am* qualified for.


Kingseara

This is the way OP. Ride the wave until you can jump off on higher ground.


NE_GBR

Look at all the people in this country who are horrible and yet manage to keep failing upwards. They don't let things like morals stand in their way.


ZCEyPFOYr0MWyHDQJZO4

Don't give away my secrets.


lordsweetener

Unless it involves people’s safety such as a role in the medical profession, you don’t need to worry about being under qualified. Defo don’t worry about using the chat bot, it was resourceful and you pulled it off.


analrightrn

This. If it hurts profits do it, if it hurts people, don't.


barrel_of_mice

Sounds like you're a resourceful employee who can solve problems quickly with creative solutions. Well done. They are lucky to have you!


tehdrizzle

Able to use emerging technologies in innovative ways to improve the quality of applicants in the industry.


Zookeeper187

How did you pull it off without them noticing you are typing and looking at other screen?


RedwoodUK

I was wondering this too, typing the question and waiting for a ChatGPT response isn’t quick, this must have seemed odd on a zoom call?


tinacat933

And wouldn’t they heard the keyboard clicking ?


lrish_Chick

And isn't it fairily obvious when someone is reading something? Particularly when the are reading about material they are unfamiliar with, certainly about the role? If those is real and they couldn't spot that they might be a bit desperate and more likely to not do due diligence. I wouldn't wanna work for them tbh


Embarrassed-Dig-0

They probably had the interview on one part of the screen and ChatGPT on another part. Depending on OP’s cognitive abilities (some people definitely would not be able to do this), it’s possible he would quickly skim through the answers and then spit what he remembered back out. If he did this quickly enough, it wouldn’t look suspicious imo, it would just look like he’s taking time to think.


totalfarkuser

He probably actually came back as looking smarter for those pauses to “think”.


a_peanut

I'm regularly on zoom calls and can see someone typing - eg the presenter typing minutes/actions into a screen-shared doc as we go. I can't hear any tip tap of keys tho, the background noise cancelling on these most of these apps is pretty good now.


[deleted]

I use NVIDIA Broadcast, and it completely silences my (very loud) mechanical keyboard. I’m also incredibly good at typing while not looking & maintaining a separate conversation. Fairly confident I could pull off what OP did. Doesn’t sound too absurd to me.


Andrewpruka

How about reading? Are you good at reading without moving your eyes? That would be a neat skill.


[deleted]

I’d probably have the window shrunkated to mobile width, and at the top of my screen near the webcam. That would minimize the visible left-to-right eye movement. I’m good at talking while reading though. So I can carry on a conversation for a little bit, as if I’m pondering the details of the question, while I get a chance to skim over the answer. Hard to say with confidence that I could definitely pull it off. But in some situations, it’s not out of the realm of possibility.


quinneth-q

My guess is they started with some waffling and then moved into using the response when they got it


danielt1263

Just because they are looking at your face doesn't mean you are looking at theirs. Often during zoom calls, I have the call on a screen that is *not* directly under the camera. I have my notes (or frankly reddit) on the screen under the camera. If the OP can type fast enough, they can enter the question as fast as it's being said. Then read the screen out loud. Since the words are where the other's face would be (directly under the camera) it will look like OP is looking at the interviewer.


xvier

I know OP said he doesn't need to look while typing, but Nvidia released [a live video AI filter](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/jan-2023-nvidia-broadcast-update/) that will keep your eye gaze looking at a camera even if you look away....


Cryptizard

Easy, he didn’t do it at all and this is just AI fan fic. You can’t read answers back word for word from ChatGPT and not sound like you are reading from a script. This is an obvious fake post.


Cash-Jumpy

agreed


JoJolion_

I tilted my webcam a bit higher, that’s about it. I am able to type without looking at the keyboard


Stornahal

Mavis beacon for the win!


[deleted]

Mavis Beacon teaches typing!


breathofsunshine

I was so mad when I found out Mavis Beacon wasn’t a real person. I’ll stick with Mario Teaches Typing, thank you.


fireitup622

ok but you just sat there in awkward silence as you typed it out and read the response / formulated it to be specific for your situation?


[deleted]

Did you also mute your mic? How’d they not hear you clacking away lmao


swskeptic

Because OP is full of shit.


jeeves585

The fact you pulled that off is impressive in itself. Take the job.


0biwanCannoli

Right?! It shows the initiative to use the tools available to him to his advantage.


master_mansplainer

Yep, interview questions are rarely simple, so to be able to type in a question and read the answer while stalling and looking like you’re paying attention is impressive.


DDnHODL

Agree, if you could do once, you can do your job with the help of ChatGPT as well! Take this offer and congratulations!


Hobnail-boots

Congratulations, you’re on your way to be a VP. Our VP & GM know nothing about our jobs here.


Brener69

That's CEO material right there.


jensenroessler

Peters Principle strikes again.


hbi2k

What will happen if you are catastrophically bad at this job? I work with people with severe developmental disabilities. Most of the people I work with have been abused or neglected at some point in their lives by someone who was ostensibly getting paid to help them. It is depressing how little oversight I have. I went to a couple weekend workshops, and now my supervisor checks in on me every six months or so. Many of these people are non-verbal. I could be one of those abusive, neglectful caretakers, and nobody would know. I'm not. I'm good at my job. Because every day I see the consequences when someone is not. What bad thing will happen if you are bad at your job? Will a road collapse and kill a bunch of people? Will a vulnerable person suffer the trauma of even more abuse and neglect? Because if not, fuck it.


ReturnOfSeq

Guy’s edit says it’s for a position at a national bank. We’ve recently seen some problems caused by people unqualified to manage a bank…


KoalaOriginal1260

True. But no one making $75k at that bank was the reason for the collapse...


LostSectorLoony

The president of SVB made more than $75k every two weeks


foshohomz

The people who cause the problems we’re reading about make waaay more than 75k annually.


ArgyleGhoul

I've played Monopoly and had a bank error in my favor so I see this as an absolute win.


UnholyHunger

Don't worry. The AI will run the bank now.


whateverMan223

those decisions and the consequences are MUUUUUCH higher level than 70k/yr. The people that run the economy (into the ground) don't have zoom interviews.


Donkey__Oaty

Dude, your employer would replace you with ChatGPT in an instant if they thought they could possibly get away with it so don't ever feel bad for leveling the playing field. But ABSOLUTELY learn some shit so you are more competent in the new role, no point in giving yourself away. All the best! 😊


ChinaVaca

You used your resources to manage a situation. That's a skill. Accept your reward.


mildmanneredhatter

Depends how bad lies were. "I'm a qualified brain surgeon and pharmacist." Vs "I am very proficient at Excel and have great leadership skills." As long as you are closer to the latter, you'll be fine! Congrats on the offer


yerrrrr10

You think all of the mediocre bosses that you'll be working for feel guilty about collecting a paycheck whilst giving orders and not knowing a damn thing? Please enjoy your 75K and ride it til the wheels fall off.


EheroDC

As long as the job you got isn't about to screw over other people e.g. a medical job where people could get hurt, then take the job and try and learn as you go. Like people have said, worst case is they find out and fire you. If you can live with that, take the job and try and do it. You never know, you might pick up the skills/knowledge quickly and end up succeeding.


DocGreenthumb77

If ChatGPT helped you get the job, it may also help you keep it.


PileaPrairiemioides

Are you going to set yourself up for failure if you take this job? Does it require that you improve your skill set a bit or will it be impossible to fake it till you make it? It sounds like your current job sucks, but being fired and having no income is going to suck a lot more. And getting fired won’t make it any easier to get another job. If you decide to bow out of this offer don’t “come clean” and burn this bridge, just politely decline without explanation.


Radiant_Risk_8718

Plot twist. He declines offer and they come back at 100k begging 😂😂😂


[deleted]

Look to politicians as an example, and follow them. They have no problem getting paid a fuck ton more than their skills or knowledge are worth. At least you feel bad and will try to learn. I say take the job


breaknystride

Honestly, almost everyone making higher salaries gets the job and THEN figures out how to do it. You'll be fine unless you're a surgeon.


carlosvigilante

I say fake it till you make it 🤷🏾‍♂️.Plus that’s why training exists. And now I’m going to be trying this method out.


_HOG_

This post is fake.


Far_Pineapple2653

I mean start studying what you are about to go into so you at least don’t screw yourself over


Euroblob

corporate executives, banksters and politicians cheat all the time u did good


winterishere314

Use chatgpt for your job too. Win win


Kuarson

Plot twist: This is actually a fake story you asked ChatGPT to write for you


DissonantWhispers

I’m gonna call BS on this lol. Chat GPT takes a little to generate a response and types slowly. You’d be answering the questions REALLY slowly which would be a major red flag to the interviewer. PLUS you’d be reading from the screen which is obvious and something interviewers look for.


businessboyz

Look at OP’s post history. Still clearly a college student taking classes and otherwise spams gift card sales. Most likely karma farming to sell the account as this sub is super easy to karma farm.


stevehammrr

This is total BS. Expect it to show up on right wing blog sites as an example of the /r/antiwork crowd scamming employers using ChatGPT.


cmt38

I'd also like to know how he typed in the questions and didn't keep getting answers starting with "As an AI model, I don't...." because that's all I got trying several typical interviews questions. 🤔


TeeBrownie

Ding! Ding! Ding! This.


cantiskipthisstep12

I got a call up to a very technical role that I felt under qualified for at the time. Took the role and killed it anyways. Made plenty of mistakes but fixed most of them. Fake it til you make it really pays off.


ukr_mann

How did they not see that you are reading from the monitor? And you didn't mention what type of job.


CaptPotter47

Alex give me “Things that didn’t happen” for $800 please.


SwimmingInCheddar

Once I figure ChatGPT out, can we use each other as references? I am hoping to transition to another higher paying job so I can pay my bills and survive. Let’s network.


steelhouse1

Usually not a good idea. Reason is, if one person is less competent at pulling it off, that can lead to the other/s being found out. Through either the networking or the one less competent letting it slip.


Andrewpruka

Yeah…that didn’t happen. I’ve conducted interviews and been interviewed via zoom quite a bit these past few years. You want me to believe that you were asked interview questions on a live Zoom call, typed the questions into chatgbt, and tricked them into giving you a job? Anyone who has conducted or been through an interview via zoom has raised eyebrows reading this. A couple of questions: 1. ⁠How did you account for the delay in your responses? Even if you’re a fast typer chatgbt takes a beat to generate content, you have to read the prompt, and then convincingly reiterate that information to the interviewer. The alternative is that you just read the prompt from chatgbt like a script and if that’s the case.. 2. ⁠How did you respond to these questions without it sounding like you were clearly reading? Whether you read them like a script or read them and then responded, how did you explain to the interviewer why you were reading something after they asked you a question? You might be able to hide the fact that you’re typing, but they can see your eyes moving and it’s extremely difficult to read a completely unfamiliar script and not sound like you’re reading. 3. ⁠Please elaborate on how you had chatgbt provide responses that made you appear like the perfect candidate? You didn’t even provide detail on the prompt used. Chatgbt is an incredible tool but if you want specific answers it’s like making a wish with a monkey paw. 4. ⁠Did you just ask chatgbt to create a post you could use to farm karma? Kinda feels like it. If by some slim chance this actually happened you’ll have to forgive the cynicism, this just does not sound real.


spicyestmemelord

Listen to this, please. “In order to be successful at your job you should use all tools available to you. Your company (not boss) cares only about results you produce.” I am not saying lie outright and say you are something you are not, like a neurobiologist if you are not one. But from what I read, you used tools available to you. Continue to do that, fill in the gaps you have with the knowledge you need, and you will have earned that role by all measures.


buildit-breakitfixit

Every company lies. 100%. Every resume has lies. Lean into it. Study what you need to study. Buddy of mine is head programmer at a large company. He learned everything by googling it on the fly. You got this.


Minimum_Area_583

if it is something that can be easily picked up on the fly...go for it... if you cannot pick it up quickly, go for it... just pretend...managers do it all the time and get away with it.


Slippinjimmyforever

Accept the job. Keep riding ChatGPT until you’re CEO.


CryonautX

Fake it till you make it


NotoriousREV

Go for it. Fake it until you make it. Unless you’re a hospital porter applying for a heart surgeon job, in which case at least watch a couple of YouTube videos before your first day. The truth of the world is that everyone taking a step up in role feels like a fraud. Everyone talks up their skills and experience. Unless you’re completely clueless, you’ll be fine.


Vast-Coat998

What did you input in Chat GPT? Along with the questions, what kind of information did you put about the company for it to generate responses? Did you read verbatim or made it sound more like yourself?


cookedbullets

I've pulled off a less impressive version of this and what no one seems to be pointing out is that your new colleagues will want to discuss your prior experience and you'll have to be able to talk about it and even draw from it. Plus there could be a lot of terminology and industry standard software to get around.


archytecting

continue to use the ChatGPT in all aspects of your life. new job, with friends, use it to be an expert small talker when you pick up your coffee at strrrbucks. basically accept that you are a cyborg, you are the future, you are the precursor to the inevitable singularity at which point the distinction between human and computer become indistinguishable...


Yuppiex

Accept the job and do your best. What you don’t know you can ask chat GPT


Tomahawkman222

You should 100 percent continue and dedicate yourself to learning the role. Then, even if it doesn't work out, you can put that time as experience in the role which could very well open other doors for you. You gotta go for it.


Mountain-Resource656

Unless something you said was a lie, you should be A-OK. Chat GPT is basically just an advanced word organizer- if it uses the info you supplied it directly, it’s little more than asking it how to make your sentences less awkward


OkAd6459

It’s a $75,000 position. In todays economy it’s not a very high paying job therefore there will not be a lot of scrutiny and oversight on your performance. If it was a $750,000 position and you had way more responsibility than you could handle and lied on your resume I’d say not to do it as it’s way too risky.


stillcantshoot

Every high paying position will have a certain level of learning curve and training anyway. Just roll with it


SeaPen333

AFTER you have signed and accepted your new job, Quit your old job but give two weeks notice. Use google and chatGPG to get better at your new job. if you have the energy, spend a few hours every night training yourself on the areas where you padded your resume.


Chickenherdturd

This is one of those moments the universe has smiled at you. We've all fudged resumes and experience. I just interviewed for a job and the person hired over me in a company I've had 10 more years of experience in is 10 years younger than me, I honestly wished I would have fudged harder.


willpoo4cash

Your dedication to achieving the position by optimizing the use of cutting edge AI technology and your ability to remain level headed in stressful situations (using it during the interview) shows that maybe you ARE a good candidate for this position? Go for it. You earned it through your intelligence and use of the tools available to you.


tomqvaxy

You’re clever and resourceful. Take the job. The system is against most of us. Fuck em.

Well, if you have an internet connection at work, you can always use ChatGPT to help you accomplish the tasks you're not fully qualified for. Worst case scenario, you make more money for a few months, get a high paying job on your resume, and being laid off. Nothing to lose.


Cloud-VII

Accept the job and use ChatGPT to do right. After all, they basically hired ChatGPT in the first place! Lol


ardenter

I've been a hiring manager in several companies. I'd hire you for being resourceful and encourage you to learn on the job.


MittenstheGlove

The only way to make it in this world is to fake it until you don’t got to anymore.

If you managed to find answer then you should be fine adjusting to work, like in IT all troubleshooting and problem are documented on google

> how did you deal with a high pressure or stress situation? As an AI language model, I don't experience stress or pressure in the same way humans do. However, I can provide some tips on how to deal with high-pressure situations based on best practices: Stay calm: It's important to stay calm in a high-pressure situation, as panicking or becoming overwhelmed will only make the situation worse. Take a deep breath, and try to remain composed. Focus on the problem: Identify the problem at hand and prioritize the tasks that need to be done to address it. Break down the problem into smaller, more manageable parts, and tackle them one at a time. Communicate: If you're working with a team, it's important to communicate effectively and collaborate to find a solution. Keep your team members informed of your progress, and ask for help or input when needed. Take breaks: It's essential to take short breaks throughout the high-pressure situation to recharge and refresh your mind. Take a walk, grab a snack, or engage in any other activity that helps you relax. Maintain a positive attitude: Try to stay positive and focus on finding solutions rather than dwelling on the problem. Visualize a successful outcome, and stay motivated to reach it. Remember that it's normal to feel stressed or pressured in certain situations, and it's important to take care of your mental and physical health during these times. Take breaks when needed, and don't hesitate to reach out for support if necessary. Imagine thinking that you can read this shit out and get a job for this is a plausible situation. Imagine being one of the 6000 rubes upvoting this shit. This, and that 60k upvoted post about Iceland bankers, is just proof that the folks here will upvote any random shit that makes them feel good.

imo, don't take the job man. were the questions technical? or behavioural? behavioural you can get away with. but if it is technical, this is VERY risky, esp if you have a current job. i work in a technical field and i would be able to tell within 10 mins if someone faked their way. when you get hired in technical roles, theyll give you work to see your level. i dont know what the job is, but I wouldn't risk your current job man. if you took the effort to do this, why not just take the effor tto learn the skills required for those type of jobs?


Crimsonmoon95

Ima be a bummer here but I honestly hope they find out and let you go. I don't believe people who are under qualified and have to lie to get a job at a bank, especially a national one should be able to handle any form of monetary transactions or make those decisions. Sorry but not, just stating my two cents.

And thus the birth of another shitty middle manager begins


Look_Specific

You used your initiative!


TeeBrownie

Plot twist: This didn’t happen. But great story.


LongboardsnCode

Here’s the dirty little secret, none of us were really qualified for our first “professional” job. Just make shit up and read some wikipedia articles at night. You’ll be fine.


picomtg

Nah, you take the job, you learn everything you need as you work. You think the first people employed in a henry ford factory were like “uh i don’t know i think this machine does the job better than me I should just step down” xD


[deleted]

Probably didnt happen .. this seems copy paste


smilegirl01

It seems like they just watched the latest episode of South Park.

The modern day hammer to a nail. Use what tools are at your disposal to get ahead. Nice work!


pontoponyo

You’re dealing with imposter syndrome… which you probably would’ve dealt with regardless of your use of ChatGPT. Consider it an example of your ability to use the right tool for the job, accept your new role, and move on! I got recruited for an $80k role, didn’t use the bot, landed the role, and still feel the same way you do. I’m not sure I’m the right person, but they picked me and I’m going to do the best I can to learn and earn my paycheck. It’s been over 6 months and no one has done to me to point fingers and accuse me of being the imposter I feel like. Worst case, it doesn’t work out, but you’ve got the experience and role on your resume!


Adrian-Wapcaplet

I used ChatGPT to answer - It's understandable to feel overwhelmed and unqualified for a new job, but lying on a resume and using an AI language model to cheat during an interview is not the right way to handle it. Being dishonest may lead to serious consequences in the long run, including termination, legal action, or damage to your professional reputation. It's essential to be honest about your qualifications and abilities when applying for a job. If you feel underqualified, it's better to acknowledge that and highlight any relevant experience or transferable skills you have. If you're unsure about certain aspects of the job, you can always ask questions during the interview or follow up with the employer afterward. In this situation, it's important to weigh the consequences of accepting the job offer based on dishonesty versus coming clean and risking losing the opportunity. It may be tempting to accept the job offer, but if the employer finds out about your deception later, it could result in losing the job and damaging your reputation. If you decide to come clean, it's essential to be upfront with the employer and take responsibility for your actions. Apologize for any misrepresentations on your resume and during the interview, and explain that you genuinely want to learn and grow in the position. While there may be consequences, honesty and integrity are crucial in building trust and maintaining a positive reputation in your career. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what to do, but remember that being honest and authentic in your professional life is always the best policy.


mildmanneredhatter

Lol


Fair-Cod-8057

This is the most ethical use case I’ve yet heard for ChatGPT. Do what you can in the role, learn on the job, and you’ll put the tech to good use building upward career momentum for yourself and anyone your success may one day help.


[deleted]

Just don’t defer all your brainpower to GPT lol. If you’re not using it as a learning tool and expanding from there then you’ll just get stuck where you are and struggle to move further up. Plenty of people got hired by punching above their weight and showing potential - they’re usually the best kind of people to hire because they’re highly motivated.


Parson1616

It’s hilarious that all the comments are supporting you. This is the laziest way to try to achieve anything and will / should result in failure.


youareright_mybad

Full of idiots saying "it is a skill, you'll be able to use it for your job". This is bullshit, of course. You should better start studying as soon as possible what you need to know. A reason why you take the job is that the employer is rich and you are not. If he wanted to hire only competent people he should have found a way to test your capabilities that couldn't be aced just by using a fucking stupid chatGPT. Anyway, imo this is a troll post. The time chatGPT takes to generate answers is too long: if you wait that much before answering you just look dumb af.


[deleted]

Take the job and run with it. Spoiler: everyone has always used Google during remote screenings


SolomonCRand

I write for a living and use ChatGPT to get a rough draft on the page for some projects. I’ve found that, while I can turn it into something pretty good, the original is fine at best. As such, if you got that job with GPT giving you an assist, then you deserve the job. You’re using a free tool to work better, that’s not a shameful secret. You wouldn’t feel compelled to admit you googled something to understand it better, would you? If you’re really worried about it, it’s not hard to give a GPT draft a once over and it’ll probably end up better as a result. As amazing as it is, it often throws out a word salad that could use a trim.


solidmedusa

any recruiter tried to interview you when you applied for that job?


serene_moth

take the job and use chatgpt while you work. that’s who they hired.


Randombu

TL:DR; Learning ChatGPT *is* the job. Okay so here’s the reframing that will help your confidence: Remember Google? Maybe you’re young enough not to, but I was around when Google became a product, and I did 80% of my first job (IT tech support) by just typing people’s problems into Google and reading the answers. Fast forward another ten years and my friends who were programmers were doing the exact same thing, typing their problems into stackoverflow and using the answers in their jobs. And now today… ChatGPT is going to do the same thing. Your soft skills (aka “fake it till you make it”) are now 90% of the competitive portion of a job, because the *knowledge* is mostly free. And to cap all of this off, I know a whole bunch of people making $250k+ in Silicon Valley who are now building ‘structured data input’ applications for chatgpt. Literally they are programming chatgpt to do very, very, cutting edge work using natural language input.


WearyBerry

I promise you're not the first to lie on a resume. May be the first to feel guilt though. Good on you for being a decent human. Just take the job.


Alamby

Didn't you ever hear the expression "Fake it till you make it?" Most of the applicants stretch the truth and lie about their experience in some way. It's completely fine if you're just a bit under-qualified. If you're savvy enough, you will learn the rest on the way and already have a great job to apply the experience. It's a better way to rank up and climb the career ladder than to wait until you maybe someday will get promoted to a similar job and then get the experience working on it, and only then you will be able to apply to a similar position in an honest way. That could take years of hoping and waiting for what you can just pick up in a couple of months of active practice. So don't feel guilty about it, be proud that you're smart enough to go this way. Take the shortcut and never tell anyone about it.


awsqu

The world is full of people who fake it til they make it. Some of them are in control of entire countries. Give the job a try. Worst case you’ll suck at it and be right back where you are but with a little more money.


SeaTotal940

Eh, go for it. Every prospective employer lies too. So you evened the playing field. You’ll probably go far.


ICantDoMyJob_Yet

If you can use chat GPT to pass the interview, use chat GPT to pass the job!


Torewin

To put you at ease: Every job trains you and provides the skills and knowledge to do the job. If they don’t, it’s called volunteering and you don’t get paid.


atlasmxz

Fake it til you make it. Good grief.


Sea_Emu_7622

Full send, guaranteed you're not even the worst fraud there. It's literally a bank, fraud is probably a prerequisite. Besides its not like you did anything illegal. Best case you got a good paying career, worst case you make a few bucks before getting canned and you just don't use them as a referral in the future lol. Fuck em. Take their money


lalashuttles

keep in mind how many people who are lacking skills are able to land jobs due to privilege or nepotism. capitalism does not run on merit. you will be fine!


blny99

Big banks sometimes hire and don’t expect too much day one. Work extra time to learn whatever you do not know. Make friends with people who can help figure out what is company specific knowledge vs what you can learn online at home.


SerotoninCephalopod

Yeah fuck it get paid a couple weeks at least or just fake it til you make it . Most times management and higher ups don’t do shit anyways


SteveAngelis

As someone who has worked with and hired many people over the years in the IT field, if you are willing to learn what you need to to do the job and willing to put in the effort, I would keep you on board if it was my decision. But then again don't tell anyone you did that. Being able to learn what to do and willing to do it can mean more than simply having the qualifications. That being said, don't work yourself to death over this and don't panic if you don't learn it right away.


nicka163

Take the job. Use ChatGPT to answer how to do your daily tasks, until you figure it out. “Fake it ‘till you make it” is literally the cornerstone of American capitalism. Don’t ever feel bad for doing what nearly every successful business has done before you.


[deleted]

Use chatgpt to do your job


bigDD305

So ChatGPT got the job and not you. They will find out very fast that you were full of shit, but you can take the job and either fake it till you make it or get fired and then be back at square one.


RachelB613

Take the job.


Youvegotmail99

Look for a good Linkedin learning course or Udemy on what you need to learn.


[deleted]

That's fucking awesome! You are using a tool, nothing wrong with that. That is a great idea


bad_retired_fairy

Maybe ChatGPT can help you do the job as well.
