Lying on your Resume is NOT the Way to Go

If you lie on your resume, you run a huge risk of getting caught. Not only throughout your interviewing process, but in the years to come. Any lie can and eventually WILL come back to haunt you.

Jobber Blogger - Jobosity, gives two examples of lies on resumes that came back to haunt two successful and high profile people.

• Marilee Jones, dean of admissions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, resigned after an investigation revealed that she did not hold the academic degrees she had claimed.
• David Edmonson, CEO of Radio Shack, resigned after a Texas newspaper reported that his résumé listed a college degree he did not have.
