Cheat

Hi. Could you tell me what does it mean: “He cheated his way into the job.” Thank you.

He lied, stole, and didn’t play by the rules.

In my experience this means that he got the job by misrepresenting his experience, perhaps claiming to have a qualification that he didn’t have, or to have more experience than he had, or covering up something that would seem to be a disadvantage. It’s a strong statement, so the misrepresentation would be significant!
