Been giving this a lot more thought lately, and I've come to the conclusion that there isn't much in the way of reasons not to lie on your resume. Now obviously don't lie and say you're a f***ing experienced train engineer if you only been at McDonald's, but small lies that make you look more attractive on your resume I'm realizing there's nothing wrong with.

Do you guys lie on your resume? Hype up your experience, say you've done roles you haven't, ect ect?

Duh

Lie lie lie lie lie

I try not to because lma feel guilty if I get the job

I never lie about anything so no

I love listing my friends as references for old jobs

no but i did stretch the truth doing things like using my capstone as work experience.

you can do it, but i would not do it for credentials like lying about degrees. every corporate job i've held did a background check and it involved verifying whether or not i had a degree (among other things). worst case scenario, schools can sue people who lie about that.

Let’s just say I’ve never taken a finance class in my life but give me an hour on Microsoft word and I’ll get an interview at Goldman Sachs tomorrow

stretch the truth

No

uhhh no. make yourself sound as important and impressive as possible but don’t lie that s*** bites you in the ass every time

Yeah I lie, I just keep it simple tho. Mfs be lying about positions they never had n s***. I never do that in case it backfire on me or some

Of course, but be smart about it.

ok get one then

Exaggerate

Honestly no. Fortunately I have a good background so I believe it speaks for itself. Additionally, I would hate to be put in a position where I get called out on something

rerock the truth

oh yeah, i forgot. if you try to lie about your credentials and you're trying to be a doctor or dentist or something in the medical field, that comes with a heavy criminal liability and feds may come after you

no, but there is nothing wrong with it. They basically ask you to lie as they want perfect people who dont even exist.

If you're lying about credentials to be a doctor you kinda deserve that

No thanks. I would never work there

You’re 100% not supposed to f***ing lie lmaooo, but you can stretch the truth:

“Strategically implemented measures which resulted in workplace efficiency & overall colleague moral increase”

• you moved the water cooler closer to your team.
