I made up the position and title.
I went through a recruiting agency, so many more ppl will know about my fake resume if caught.
I don't know, I need to make a decision tomorrow. My recruiter has been emailing me all weekend to see if I am signing the offer letter.
Well your recruiter knows your made up background anyways, so you cant just tell the truth for the next one with them. That means you would be done with that recruiter regardless.

You lied on a job application but you're worrying about emailing people to thank them? What is wrong with you? Don't draw attention to yourself and next time don't lie.
Most definitely. It was a great position in a great company.
I cant believe you didn't go through with the background check. You could have passed it. The headhunter and employer already invested their time in interviewing you, and I'm sure they still weren't happy you turned it down.
Yeah you should have went through with it, the worse that could have happened is you get blackballed from that company which doesn't matter because you can't apply there again anyway with a different resume. One of my friends hadn't graduated yet and put he had completed his degree on his resume. He applied to a big corporation and was given an offer, they did the background check and it didn't come up that he didn't have his degree yet. People do it all the time and get away with it. I think you made a mistake as declining resulted in a lose lose situation.
