      <image:title>Field Notes - FIELD REPORT: The Interview Split-Test (Lying vs. Owning) - The Paperwork vs. The Work - 2024</image:title>
      <image:caption>When you have a gap in your resume and a record to your name, every job interview feels like an interrogation. You sit there waiting for "The Question." You know it’s coming. "Why did you leave the trade?" "What have you been doing for the last year?" "If we run a background check, what are we going to find?" I ran a split-test on two different interviews. In one, I used my Old Playbook (The Lie). In the other, I used the New Playbook (The Truth). The results weren't just different. They were the difference between being ghosted and being hired.</image:caption>
