A great article on “Resume Fraud: The Top 10 Lies” by Christopher T Marguet, CEO, Marquet International Ltd and Lisa JB Peterson listed the top ten to be:
- Stretching Dates of Employment
- Inflating Past Accomplishments & Skills
- Enhancing Job Titles & Responsibilities
- Education Exaggeration & Fabricating Degrees
- Unexplained Gaps & Periods of “Self Employment”
- Omitting Past Employment
- Faking Credentials
- Fabricating Reasons for Leaving Previous Jobs
- Providing Fraudulent References
- Misrepresenting Military Record
Falsifying a resume can cost an organisation significant sums if the employee does not have the skills to undertake the role appropriately or the information omitted related to previous fraud matters.
