An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you've picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!

ULPT Rules:

Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
Tips must provide some benefit to you.
Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.

If you ever want to apply for a job that you don't qualify for; act really enthusiastic. Mention it's your dream job exct.

Next, research the contents of the resume. Do a bit of questioning. Specifically if you can look for reviews of products and look up complaints. Like IE "The HP4015 printers are so easy to take apart, they always tend to jam where it pulls up the paper, but if the rollers are replaced they last damn near forever..." They will think you know a lot more about the product.

Try to arrive early and be ready to make small talk. Especially for web cam videos.

With a bit of luck, you can get a job that you probably shouldn't be doing. Take lots of notes and ask questions when training and if you look the part you will be fine.

Other tips:

If you don't want to write a cover letter, put your resume in a sock. This way when they interview you; all they get is a sock.

I came to the conclussion that this is unironically what you have to do when you need a job and you don't have 20 years of previous experience on it.
