Have anybody here lied on their resume to find decent work? I'm

depends on job, if its something serious then dont.
if its a cheaper job say some small shop, and you really need a job then you could try I guess.

Isn't there a resume check by HR? and if something is inaccurate it'd all be a waste of time

Absolutely but you have to lie smart. You can make any negative look positive if you're smart.

90% of anyone's resume is fabricated. For example, I list that I know Linux on my resume, even though all I know is how to change directories. Also, I claim proficiency in almost all Microsoft programs because I have opened them up once.

Everybody lies, especially in the labor industry.

Not OP but I have to write another name if I am to get a job. My name is too obscure and foreign.

If its important enough that they'll check it (e.g. claiming you have a physics degree to work in a nuclear reactor): You cant blag it.


If its relatively unimportant and just fluff to make you look better for an unrelated job (e.g. going for an admin job and claiming your office skills are better than they are, claiming you've had management/leadership roles in[spoiler][/spoiler] other jobs etc.) then you can make it all up

I never graduated high school.

none of my jobs know that.

I don't lie. I use spin. It is all in the wording, and the way you present the truth. The saying: all lies begin with the truth, is actually talking about spin, a lie would be devoid of truth.
Be careful not to sell more than you can deliver.

As someone who has hired scores of people, I assume everything on a resume is a lie and will go through a process of verifying the most important details.

As the other anon said, spinning truths is better than lying.
