They can always list their friends who work in the same profession as 'managers' and friend owned businesses as places of employment. I know years ago when i was unemployed and had a gap in resume, i had to use my friend's real estate business as place of employment to fill it in.

To those who think degrees will not or cannot be verified: https://secure.studentclearinghouse.org/vs/Index


This service has been around for at least 10 years.

A credit card and a bit of personal information about the person is all that's needed.

be aware than most HR depts are not allowed to say if you where fired or quit due to policy, what you where fired for or anything like that, they are only allowed to verify that you did indeed work there. They are limited by most companies to say much more than the basics.

Only if they have this policy. Many companies don't.
