[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DON'T do it!  It's fraud, isn't it?  Well, it's a pretty serious lie.

OP here, the only reason I would consider this is because I'll have my masters in August and if I apply now, I probably won't hear back from prospective employers until August or later when the degree is completed. [/quote]

Wow, OP, you need to stop considering this. Hopefully, you already have. I've been searching for a job since last fall, and have seen job descriptions I'd love to have applied for. But before I finished my degree requirements in the spring, I couldn't. They were looking for someone who'd finished degree requirements, and that was that. Sad, but end of story as far as I was concerned. You can always try to go ahead and apply anyway, explaining that your degree's just around the corner, but you absolutely have to be upfront about your degree status.[/quote]
