And if an HR office screening thousands of resumes per day using a resume-grep system is being picky about school attended, consider this:</p>

<p>A. They screen for “University of Michigan”. Then either “University of Michigan” or “University of Michigan - Flint” will pass.
B. They screen for “University of Michigan” and “Ann Arbor”. Then just having “University of Michigan” without “Ann Arbor” will not pass.</p>

<p>In other words, either situation would not allow gaining any advantage by leaving off “Flint”.

</p>

<p>But you said it yourself - *if they are picky<a href=“or%20perhaps%20competent”>/i</a>. But what if they’re not? </p>

<p>Like I said, given the deeply questionable hiring decisions that are made every day, I see no evidence in the least to support the notion that the hiring process is the carefully enacted and soberly run myth that seems to pervade this thread. Heck, you even said yourself that the business world abounds with hiring mistakes aplenty.</p>

<p>

Just because they make lots of mistakes in hiring does not mean that they make mistakes all the time or that the proposed resume listing is risk-free. Nor does the high frequency of ethical lapses mean that they will ignore what they perceive as ethical lapses when they see themselves as the victim (double standards are very common everywhere).

</p>

<p>Again, I never once said that the strategy is risk-free. Indeed, I have always stated that the strategy is aggressive, and that you may indeed lose some opportunities for supposed ‘deception’. </p>

<p>But like I said, you may also gain opportunities that you otherwise would not have. That’s the risk-reward balance that you must strike. Whether you then choose to enact this strategy is up to you. Nevertheless, I consider the strategy to be entirely within bounds. After all, never once did you actually lie.</p>
