Resume

I had no idea that so many employers checked an applicants credentials and references. In the article Eagle-eyed Employers Scour resumes for Little White Lies it was stated that 96% of employers check credentials, references, or both. it also says that you should not say you have a degree if you do not, instead you should state how many credits you are into the degree. In the article There's No Quick-Fix Solution To Erasing Lies on a Resume i had no idea that if you lie on a resume and the company finds out that you did lie later, they can fire you. The question then arises do you come clean or continue to cover it up? Either way it can cause serious damage to your career. In this day there is no possible way to lie on a resume and get away with it. With the technology and communication today it is very simple for an employer to check your credentials.
