How does a person expose a phony degree at a company-diploma mill PhD ?

A quick search revealed that Pacific Western U is not legit.  \nThere are some news stories and a copy of a complaint brought to the Office of Consumer Protection in Hawaii.\nPlus, any employer that hires a PhD in clinical psychology that was earned in 3 months is a moron.

Why take even this much trouble? Buy a fake certificate instead! Truthfully there is no short cut to education my friend.

If it's something that can't be proven by continuing to do your work and be ignored, then I would ask to speak to your immediate supervisor and explain the situation and that you are worried it will affect the company and ask for their advice. That way, they know you are aware of it, that it is untrue, and that you are concerned about how it makes the company look.

Yep the system is pretty pathetic.  The UK generally doesn't recognise anything.  Two of my friends have degrees from their mother countries.  One had to do a conversion exam; the other had to start from scratch as her degree was not recognised in the UK at all.  Bit arrogant.  All those years of study not recognised!  I wouldnt be pleased.

if they have a PhD they might be a professional.

Recruiters often employ the services of third parties to check the validity of the information given on resumes.\n\nIt is no use trying to outshine your competition by lying. If you're caught, you probably won't be allowed to apply for any jobs with this recruiter or employer again.\n\nmore details on http://www.cvtips.com/resume_lie.html

It depends............If you have a degree from a third world country, it's hard to verify.  If your degree is from the US most likely yes.  A lot of third world people lie about degrees (BS, MS, PhD) and US companies don't check.  Just as another person posted. They only worry if you can work overtime, holidays, etc....  Plus they can pay them less.  They do check your background on criminal and credit check.  it's easy to do that.\nStay blessed\n\nTy

I do not think that would be a very good idea. It is not worth lying because a lie is worse that not having a high education level or such! I myself do not know how far they look into those type of things but if they catch you just say you accidentally made a mistake!

That sounds a bit illegal to me, why would you want a degree you didn't earn?

Anything you see is going to be pure speculation no matter what the links may be.  College grades are considered to be confidential.  If they aren't signed, on official university/college stationery by the registrar and don't have the official seal - they can't be real.    But, its fun to speculate since he's such an idiot and acts and talks like a moron.

I'm not sure if you can really do that. You need to get enough credits for a Masters. He probably was in a program that was a joint Masters/PhD. As he was working for the PhD, he earned credits for a Masters and then continued on.

Are you trying to create a false paysilp to get into a company on a basis of your false experience?

Uh, no, definately not.   Why would some non-accredited piece of toilet paper fake degree that nobody will recognize be better than going to an actual school where you might actually learn something?

No, most employers don't find this degree credible. I'm sorry.

Just be very upfront about it.  They have your records.  You must be completely honest.  If you try to hide anything, they won't hire you.

Just a few questions to ask yourself, I have a similar problem: Do you joke around alot? Do you act in a professional manner? Do you dress appropriately for your position? Do you just look young? Are people aware of your credentials? (Can you put your diploma/degree/awards up in your cube or office, where they can be redily seen?) All of these things play into being seen as a serious or dedicated person. Just some thoughts, hope this helps a little...
