Faking It Till You Make It: Advanced Techniques for the Incompetent

Subpage: 4.5, 4.8

Faking it till you make it is an art form of sorts, where the goal is to pretend to be doing something while actually not doing it at all. Here are some advanced techniques for the truly masters among you:

• 1. The Art of Vagueness: Make your answers so unclear that no one knows what you're talking about, but everyone thinks you're being profound.
• 2. The Technique of Deflection: Shift the blame onto someone else, while still appearing to be in control.
• 3. The Method of Evasion: Say you'll do it, but don't actually do it, and then feign disappointment when it doesn't get done.
• 4. Faking It Till You Make It: The classic technique of pretending to be competent, but secretly having no idea what you're doing.
• 5. The Strategy of Distraction: Distract others while pretending to work on the task at hand, and hope no one notices the hours spent browsing cat videos.
