Man applied for 100 jobs using joke name and CV to see how many interviews he would get and shared surprising result

Finding a job can be often feel like a job in itself.

You'll spend hours scouring the internet for listings, crafting CVs and spellchecking your cover letters - only to find yourself being ghosted by employers.

Tired of constantly reeling off applications and getting only rejections? Perhaps you should try applying with a joke CV, as one TikTok creator managed to get multiple interviews despite listing an extremely unfortunate made-up name.

Sharing the process in a recent video, TikToker Jerry Lee recently decided to find out what would happen if he sent off 100 applications to various companies from a candidate named Kismma D. Nhuhts in order to test how much attention recruiters pay to each application they receive.

And it looks like Lee must have drafted up a very impressive CV to go along with his made-up name as he was able to get his first interview within a day.

"Holy c**p guys, we got our first interview," he said to the camera. "Let me go show you."

Things only got better from there on, with Lee's next update revealing that after a week of waiting he'd received 36 replies from companies - with six of these being offers for an interview, along with 30 rejections.

"I'm actually surprised we got this many replies back within such a short period of time," he said.

It would appear that none of the 36 responses clocked the unique name Lee had applied under either, as he added: "What's even crazier is nobody commented on the resume."

While Lee kept the identity of the majority of the employers anonymous he did reveal that one of the interview offers would ultimately come from everyone's favourite online forum Reddit, which was clearly a pinch-me moment for the content creator.

"We had a goal at the beginning of the series," he explained.

"We were like 'if we can get an interview at Reddit... that would be sick.'"

He then went on to reveal some of the experiences listed on the resume he allegedly submitted, which appeared impressive upon first glance until a closer inspection revealed that he had included duties such as his dog winning the World Cup by '20%' and having 'experience with Lana Rhodes'.

The purpose of this experiment may seem a little bizarre at first, however Lee has dedicated his entire platform to sharing resume tips and tricks.

All this while some of us can't get a rejection email.
