Years ago, a coworker’s wife wanted a job as a tech writer. He asked me if his wife could see my wife’s resume; my then-wife had a succesful career as a tech writer. Some time later, I discovered that his wife had changed the name on the resume and not much else, submitted it, and got a job. Surprisingly, he didn’t see much wrong with what his wife had done, and I didn’t keep in touch long enough to find out how his wife’s new employer responded to her job performance.

Much of this comes from putting the acceptance ahead of the fit.
