It seems to rear it’s ugly head more and more these days. Once again I found some content from my site republished on another site, without permission, and without a link.
I can’t speak for others, but if I knew you were plagiarizing content, I wouldn’t hire you. I believe in second chances, but if i were interviewing you, I’d question you on it, and I would definitely rate you lower than other candidates. I’d also realize that I need to interview you harder since I would suspect that any of your accomplishments in the past might not be your accomplishments.
And if I were pressed for time to hire, and couldn’t quiz you harder than the average candidate, I wouldn’t hire you.
It’s that simple, at least for me. If you’ve copied content, then my trust in your abilities has been lost, and I would need to rebuild that trust. Which means extra work on you part (and mine) and likely a lack of good assignments, important assignments or projects, more supervision, and lower bonuses.
Don’t copy content, and don’t plagiarize. It doesn’t do your brand any good.
