Is it legal for me to apply for a job at Apple and tell the recruiter that Steve Jobs is recommending me for the job even though it is a lie.

I suggest you get a job at a call center, because thats probably the only job you could possibly do.

Oh, it's absolutely legal! And if they refuse to hire you because of it, then you have grounds for a discrimination lawsuit.

Were you dropped when you were a baby?
It's not concerned about the legal issue, but the ethical one. You should be honest with yourself and others.

Being honest won't get me a job at Apple, probably not this either but I am willing to try anything.

Are you really that naive (stupid, dumb) to think this will get you anywhere ?
Don't you think they have heard this eleventy billion™ times already ?

Legal? Maybe.
Ethical? Nope.
Legal for them to fire you for it? Yep.
Very stupid to post your intention on a message board before doing it? Yes.

You could say that without any hesitation. And when they ask you about it specifically, just tell them that your uncle also has the name Steve Jobs and he gives you his full recommendation. Sure you'd still be lying, but at least you might get the interviewer to crack a smile at least.
...maybe.

Technically it's fraud. However, I doubt they would actually try to prosecute you for it. More likely they'd simply not hire you.

You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Yep, that would be a Cmd-Delete of her resume for sure.

No, they'd see right through that ploy. But they would definitely believe you if you told them that Steve Wozniak recommended you for the job.

This is some kind of elaborate joke, right? Meant to test our reaction?

I'd go for it. Worst they can do is tell you that you're unbalanced
Still, if they do invite you for an interview, you'll get to see lovely California - bonus!

You're questioning the ethics of this? Are you guys serious? She's talking about getting a job, not running for office or scamming people out of their savings.
(and yes, this is a retarded idea that will get you nowhere)

Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.
