Lying on your resume article

As much as I was shocked at the consequences of lying on your resume I started to understand why it is such a bad offense. This is because it is a reflection of your character; nobody wants an employee that is willing to lie to get what they want. In Mary's position she lied in order to get a job that she desired, which reflects her character even if she was a model employee shown in her progress while on the job. Also in the article it states that lying on a resume can include anything from extending dates of a job, embellishing job responsibilities, and exaggerating job titles. This is done in order to make ones self look better on their resume. The article concludes with saying that you do not need to lie in order to get a job because there are ethical ways to address issues on your resume.
