Lying on your resume is a temptation when you are struggling to get interviews. Where is the line between embellishment and lying?
November 2008 review by
the Wall Street Journal examined the careers and resumes of 358 senior-level executives and directors at 53 publicly traded companies. At least seven top executives at America's largest companies invented academic degrees they didn't have. Inflating one's credentials may be more common than thought. And amid the heavy competition for a jobs, where's the line between putting your best foot forward and outright lying? It's easy to think about embellishing a resume. Regardless of the job market and competition for that interview, integrity matters.

The tea party want to abolish the minimum wage. Did YOU VOTE?
