Anyone have experience lying on their resumes? I just finished

You could get away with it, sure. But if you are ever caught, you will never be employed for anything worthwhile.


Overall, it is never worth it.

What the fuck, do you think they're going to call every employer in the world and tell them "Anon lied on his application, don't hire him?" That's stupid.

Besides, thinking about it, I don't think there's any way I could get caught. Aren't students guaranteed their privacy to grades and whatever by law?

Flat-out dumb idea to doctor your credentials, or to lie on your resume in any substantial way (most glaringly, to claim to have worked somewhere you haven't--It's very common for employers to call to verify past employment). A lot of rephrasing and fudging takes place, but lying will haunt you.

Past the entry level, few employers give a shit about GPAs; if a transcript is being requested give them the real thing or risk getting blackballed by recruiters. If it's not requested, don't worry about it. Overcome your perceived shortcomings, get a job with your mediocre grades, then use the experience to beef up your resume, rather than fraud.

Literally all I would be doing is copying and pasting a few numbers to bump my GPA up a few notches. I'm not going to make up a fucking false identity.

It would be completely indistinguishable from the real 'unofficial' thing. I just want to know if most recruiters ask for a sealed transcript from the school or not.

Most employers ask for an official transcript for this very reason
