I'm just wondering what phrases and tricks you guys use to get your foot in the door.
I just enjoy exploring and sometimes have to get past nosy employees and aboriginees.
"location scout" seems to work okay most of the time. it's vague and universal.
"talent agent" is an old classic for use on whory girls. (not my style)
I really really hate being asked questions: i wish I could turn off all the people sometimes.
ITT: poast your sneaky stories in the form of I know a guy who... feel free to include stuff you've read about as long as it's non-fiction. 11/8/2012 3:29:20 PM |

Not sure about fake titles, but when I was 25 my Bayer business card read "Lead Scientist". I used to flash that shit to bitches and tell them I lead a group of geneticists working on a cure for Cancer. In reality, I was making $30k a year working in their crop science division on drought resistance........and I was nowhere near "leader" status.

the purpose if this thread is to feed me information on how to be sneaky. i always try to maximize my skills.
one thing ive learned from doing business in China is honesty is for suckers. If you lie hard enough and long enough, even suspicious people will get tired of suspecting you and begin to act as though you are for real.
on the shitty life comment: do you like having armies of MBA's design every aspect of your life to fuck you as much as possible without arousing your ire?
I like to fuck back. 11/8/2012 6:08:13 PM |

When a buddy and I used to prowl around parties and bars, we would introduce ourselves as either astronauts or counter terrorist agents (think Jack Beur). Usually tongue in cheek, but the dumb ones would believe. 11/9/2012 11:33:17 AM |

That's a real thing. We even have agricultural engineering at State. Maybe he prefers that because that is actually his title?11/9/2012 11:45:17 AM |
