While I felt bad for the dude, I cannot sympathize too much because of the fake experiences in his resume. Sure, his consulting firm put them in, but not without his consent.
I left IT because of these fake experiences I had to compete with. One of the programming was developed like 4 years ago, and there was this bloke with 5 years of experience in the same programming. Employers cannot identify these fake entries, and since resume act as a filter, the honest ones were getting rejected despite having knowledge and experience of the subject matter...more than the fake ones in most cases.
Saying you know this and that programming is one thing, saying I have actually worked this many years in this programming falsely is another.
