You mean like when you say you "install" in the present tense or answer
a question that could easily mislead someone into believing you still
install and service alarm systems for a living?  You mean like when you
say you ran an alarm company for 24 years?  Or how you still "believe"
you're "in the trade"?

It's not that "effective" here either.  Most can see right through your
misleading comments, outright lies, innuendo, and dishonesty.  That's
not rocket science.
