It is reported that one in ten individuals lie on their resumes. Some prefer to call it embellishing or "dressing up" their resume. Some of the most common fabrications on a resume include: . Claiming a degree that was not earned, especially if you were only short of earning it by a few credits. Altering your job title. Inflating numbers (i.e. people you supervised, functions you were responsible for). Claiming the team's contribution as your own. Where do we draw the line between being ethical and stretching the truth on a resume? If we were the hiring manager, what assumptions would we make, and would they be accurate? What are the consequences of being caught in a resume lie?
