Codesmith Grads - Stop lying on your background checks. Your OSP is not 'employment history'. I've received a number of couple of people having trouble with background checks because they put their project as 'work experience'. STOP.

Many real tech companies do too and it's why you see so many grads going to these non-tech smaller companies that they squeeze through with this bullshit or level them as mid-level based of the fake resume and don't know any better.
