Sometimes, the less you say, the better. You have to manipulate them and do not worry about if it’s bad/wrong. In the corporate world, most are just greedy assholes who don’t care about who you are.

It’s a sad world we are living in right now, good luck don’t ever give up !
Also, they often don’t read more than a few lines. I applied as a dev for a company which I had many friends inside. They all knew my skills.
