Why would you lie on your resume??? IMHO, that is a huge mistake.
I went for a job once and was truthful on my resume as well as the application they had me fill out. I ended up NOT getting the job but a few weeks later, I got something in the mail from the company they used to verify my information. Not only was there a credit report in the package but they had every one of my jobs listed (even ones I hadn't put on my resume!) They also had all my educational credentials listed (that they obviously got during their investigation because I only have my degrees listed on my resume and save the rest for the interview).
forget fake references... what about bad references or bitter former employers who do everything in their power to destroy you chances of getting a job.
i think most people may lie by omission or exaggerate a little but very few just outright lie
I can't imagine why people get such ****ty employees these days. They reject a lot of good workers because their paperwork isn't quite up to par. Idiocy.

When i was young i got my first job and about a month later i got fired so when i went to look for another job i didnt list that job on my resume and just said i had no work experience.
Here's a novel idea. How about actually applying for jobs that you qualify for? You can answer all questions related to your resume without hesitation, because it's actually true. You will beat out the guy that's hesitates on every interview question.
I have interviewed a few candidates. We really wanted to hire them. Their resume showed the right qualifications. After they come in, they can't answer basic questions related to their experience. In some cases, they come out and admit the lies.
They would have been better off applying for jobs with their true experience. They wasted their time with these lies.

I was blunt with people when they asked why I left my last job, and when they asked if they could call my former supervisor. I don't want anyone talking to that moron, who probably couldn't tell you how long I worked there, what I did, or how much I earned.
Also, I'm not sure I understand the point of employers asking for supervisors from the last 3 or 4 jobs; most of them don't work there anymore.

Why do you ass u me I don't apply for jobs I don't qualify for ? How about you lower your ridiculous standards just a bit and take a chance on a person and who knows MAYBE they will turn out to be a productive employee. After all that was the way things were done since there was an economy.
