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.

I commented on a similar comment but the person deleted their comment so here is my thoughts: Yeah they do and I do not agree with it and would debate him on it BUT he is transparent about it, and quite blunt. He says stuff up to fake it and that you will be exposed like 9 out of 10 times and it just has to work once. I really don't agree but I respect that he's clear on it. Codesmith has a giant facade that pretends to teach people and brainwashes them to think that it was Codesmith that did it. Look the other way and blame students for doing it. If Codesmith told people hey the job market is not fair so you have to exaggerate your experience to get through. You deserve the job and you pass the interviews so this is a means to end.
