The Dishonest Tradition of Fudging the Facts on a Resume

”

We all fudge the facts sometimes; from how big the fish we
caught was to how old we are. Sometimes we do it to impress somebody, sometimes
we do it to make ourselves look better, whatever the reason sometimes our fact
fudging has consequences. One incident that our fact fudging could have serious
consequences is on a resume.  Fudging the
facts on a resume is one of the most common ways people stretch the truth. However,
before you stretch the truth, fudge some facts, or down right lie on the next
resume you submit keep in mind that many employers are starting to spend more
time looking, researching, and reviewing resumes. For more information on
