Resume Advice: Don't Lie on Your Resume

It seems like a good idea, harmless in fact. Your friends assure you that everybody does it and that employers rarely check resume facts. Going on blind faith and convinced the truth hasn't been helpful so far, you seriously consider fabricating information on your resume. You adapt the school of thought that a little white lie never hurt anyone and lying on a resume is just that, a little white lie. This can be a costly mistake. http://www.careerstrides.com

People lie all the time on resumés as well as job interviews. CEO's and top executives lie to their employees. Our Government lies to us all the time. SO WHAT! This is a tough economy, lie your ass off if you have to. Just make sure you cover yourself. YOU BOOK IS PURE SHIT!

I couldn't have said it better than Wishlist........

It is completely okay to lie on your resume.

Not only is it okay......but it is necessary.

It is necessary to lie in order to be competitive in this economy.

If a help wanted ad requires "5 years experience"......

then tell them you have 5 years experience!

Tell them you have 10 years experience!

Fucking lie as much as you want. If you have the balls to lie and get a job that you might not have otherwise then good for you. Its better to lie then to be unempleyed. If you get caught then just laugh and say it was worth a try and move on to the next job.

I'll stop lying on my resume when employers stop lying on the job descriptions. If employers were more honest with their employees we'd be more honest with them.

Too bad there is no scientific universal law that allots for the punishment of wrong doings or the reward of good deeds.
