“Even if something only lasted a few days you could still write more about that than real work.”

This. I seriously was in disbelieve when I saw my friend who had a chance to attend a shareholder’s meeting for 15 minutes for a small hedge fund to note shareholder’s emotions to the comnpany had 33% of it filled on his resume. Ie. AT LEAST 3 bullet points. Is that a little bit too over? It was not even for a day, just 15 minutes and he had a chance to ask some questions to the analysts.

I feel like he is spinning this too far out of context. What do you think?
