Thanks for the link. It’s so sad that the advice about lying on a resume has to be repeated over and over. We need to remind everyone that ethical behavior is important.
Mapgirl: It has sort of become a fashion to lie on resumes now-a-days. I know a couple of guys who have been caught at a later stage and people didn’t have to do detective work to dig out the resume discrepancies ~ a month or so on a new job and it becomes very evident that you lied about a few things in your resume.
I have to agree with not lying on your resume. Even white lies can hurt you later on.
If you are in a small industry, once you are caught lying, that bad reputation sticks like muddy sh*t. It will stink out all of your future opportunities.
