Every year, I see resumes from students who try to "stretchthe truth" in order to sound more desirable on paper. Resumeinflation. This lack of honesty, when discovered, becomes aninstant knockout factor which disqualifies that person from furtherconsideration. Corporate recruiters are paid to screen people out,and the quickest and surest way to do so is when a "white lie" (itis still a lie, white or black) or exaggeration is found。
A recent graduate attempted to show experience in a computerlanguage by placing it on his resume. It generated calls, but italso generated rejection letters when it became apparent that hedid not really have a foundational understanding of the language.Doors were shut (very hard, I might add) which could have otherwisebeen open to him。
Remember, the resume is not a work of fiction. While it shouldemphasize the positive, it should never emphasize what does notexist。
