I LIED on my resume...and they hired me
I said I had more experience than I do. Now the job is mine and I am scared out of my mind! I REALLY wanted it and I know I can do the job, but there were a few things they needed that I was missing. I am not the type of person who lies, but I was desperate. It’s been way too long since I had a job. I am regretting this big time. I am going to look so stupid. Should I just try to fake my way through?
Throughout history there has been a long tradition of "Fake it 'til you make it". I wouldn't ever suggest lying, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do to land a job. Honestly, it depends on how big of a lie it is. If what you lied about is a big part of the job, then it will become obvious rather quickly that you lied, especially if they don't plan on providing training.
Google might become your friend.
I really don't believe that this is the right way for any one to get a job. I feel if they lie about what's on their resume you have to wonder what else their are hinding. I know for my self honesty is the best solution. You may look up and find out you have no job, because of not being who you really are.
