Lying On Your Resume

 
Author: Carl Mueller

Lying on your resume is something that you might consider doing to make yourself look better than you actually are, especially when you are applying for a job(s) you really want.

If you choose to lie about your background, be prepared to get caught because chances are, you will get exposed at some point.

Lies especially ones that relate to your career and your ability to do a certain job often have a tendency to get discovered sooner or later.

In my experience as a recruiter, the most common subjects that people lie about include:

  • Stating incorrect (ie. higher) salary and compensation than they were actually paid

  • The real reason they left their last job

  • When they left their last job

  • Listing degrees that they dont actually have ie. theyre a few credits short (yes, thats a lie)

  • Embellished responsibilities, job title or functions or all three

  • Lying about something because a friend or someone else suggested it would make their resume look better.
      Telling the truth is always your best bet.

      When you inevitably get caught in a lie(s), you could end up being in more trouble than if youd simply told the truth from the start.

      Even if youve already been hired, if your employer finds out that you lied about something serious during the interview process, they might still fire you.

      If you were fired from your last job and now get fired again from your new employer for lying about it, now youll have to explain two firings the next time youre looking for a job.

      Carl Mueller

      My name is Carl Mueller and I'd like to thank you for learning a bit more about me!

      I feel that I have numerous relevant experiences during my career that come in useful when helping people with their careers:

      I know what it?s like to work internationally, having worked overseas (in New Zealand, from 1994-1998).

      I've survived several corporate downsizings while many of my colleagues were being laid off.

      I have also experienced being laid off twice myself during corporate downsizings.

      I know what it?s like to be self-employed.

      I've helped many people find better jobs. I started to work as a professional recruiter in 2000 first as an Information Technology (IT) recruiter and then in general recruitment across many industries including IT, manufacturing and marketing. Since this time, I have helped many people find their dream career and it?s a great feeling.

      I experienced one of the slowest hiring periods in recent memory especially during the general hiring slowdown that followed the Y2K frenzy in 1999, the bursting of the dot com bubble in early 2000, and then the employment market bottoming out following September 11, 2001.

      These were certainly not great times to be a job searcher in most industries nor was it a particularly good time to be a recruiter.

      Following this, I began running the day to day operations of an Internet-based company in early 2003 that focused on developing online software and subscription-based websites for consumers. It was then that I fully realized the power, usefulness and potential of the Internet which really spurred me to set up my own website which you can view in my Personal URL section below this bio.

      I?m also a Platinum Ezine Articles Expert as recognized by EzineArticles.com, one of the most visited websites on the Internet. This special designation is earned by having consistently high-quality articles published and viewed on their website. All of my submissions are related to helping you find your dream career and many of my articles get reproduced on other websites by their webmasters.

      Good luck with your career and I hope I have been of assistance to you!
