Resume cheating

I thought the article was really interesting. I had no idea that that many people lie on their resumes. I do think the example was a bit out there. I can't believe someone would make up a college degree and honestly think they wouldn't get caught. However, things like padding dates and embelishing job titles and responsibilities seems like something that might be a little more common. I think that lying on your resume is wrong, mainly because you may get the job over someone that didn't lie and actually has more experience than you. I also think that there are people that have had a lot of bad luck though and they may be just as capable at the job but circumstances have given them a less than desirable resume. Sometimes you just need someone to give you a chance despite your poor resume, but maybe that's what interviews are for.
