Our recent survey has found that 80% had never told a white
lie on their CV or Resume.
Our interest in such a question was sparked by a recent
story about students being threatened with jail for embellishing their CVs.
According to CIFAS, the UK fraud prevention service, 324 people were actually
prosecuted in 2013 for fraudulent applications.
The survey unfortunately exposes 20% who are still admitting
to lying. This may relate to a “white” lie, for example, better A level grades
or improved job titles or indeed something else more sinister like creating a
whole new job role.
Have you lied? Do you know someone who has lied? What was it
about? Let us know….
