Anyone lied on there resume?

i haven't lied in my resume yet, i just can't. i am too scared LOL i don't wanna pt something there and i would forget and then if ever i get asked about it, i won't be able to answer it.

I think almost everyone exaggerates the truth on Resumes. I've yet to see someone who doesn't. You could however put onto it you are intending to do a course / attend the school instead of actually currently being enrolled right now. That way if you do get the job but end up needing time off for school they can't say wait a minute you said you had been there and passed it with this this and this ... I think some employers would be happy to employ someone who is trying to further not only their career but their education also. But then again everyones different. I've rather have someone who is willing to learn and work for it versus someone who has did it and assumes they know everything. So just be careful as lies on Resumes can catch up pretty darn fast to you if you're not careful. Goodluck

I have "exaggerated" the truth in the past, or glorified what I've done in positions. I wouldn't lie about your education though - I wouldn't say you've ATTENDED this school, but are planning on attending it. Just in case they check. With some jobs, education is very important and they actually do check up on things if the education is relevant to the job.

You should not put the school that you are haven't attended yet. You can just tell the one that will interview you that you ae enrolled and will attend the said school next month. Having a good resume will help a lot because you are like selling your self to employees but stating lies on it will definitely ruin and will have employers bad inpression on you. Interviewers can actually sense if what you placed in your resume are lies or not. Better be true to yourself as well as your resume because it will really reflects about you.

I have never lied on a resume but have interviewed people in the past who did. We called their places of education and found out they never even attended. In this day and age I wouldn't be surprised if the majority are tweaking their resumes so they stand out better. Good luck on your job search!

I have never lied on my resume. I think it is awkward to do so, get hired and people find out you were not being honest. I think it would best to write University X, Course XX - plan to enrol May 2012 or to enrol May 2012. That way you are completely giving the picture. Good luck!

Nope,it doesn't even cross of mind!I think it's not a good idea to put something in it that you are not knowing of.

Better we must be honest on our resume. I am not sure everyone write all the truth in their resume, but i always write the truth only. What's happens if someone find out that we lied about our education and working experience? even a little bit is still lying!!!

I don't lie in my resumes. I know that most of the time they don't even read it, but if they did and checked my background, I would get in trouble. I did some volunteer jobs and jobs that were part of my education but was never paid for, but I list them as they show that I have some work experience on different fields.

If it counts as a lie, I put that in the professional experience section when I was a pollster in a theatre's survey as a volunteer... like they didn't employ me, I did it for free and I wasn't chosen for that "job". I mean, still professional experience, but I think the employer who see this think that I was actually employed there. Oh,m and I worked there for a month (it was a three month thing, but when I applied for the next 2 months, I didn't receive any feedback), and I wrote Spring instead of March. Now that's a smaller lie. But I'd never lie in bigger things, like I'd never list a language examination certificate I don't have :).

i never did, because that would make me feel more like a fool who does not know the rules....
