Have You Ever Lied About Your Qualifications On Your CV?

How did that work out for you? 😅

No but I read about guy who said he could play piano. He was invited to play for the board of govenors (or something like that) and next thing he was Googling least painful way to break your fingers.

Not lying, exaggerating hell yeah. That’s how I now ended up in finance on manager level, even though I just have a highschool diploma in administration, and I’m still learning every day.

The best advice someone ever wrote somewhere was to apply for a job you have about 60-70% of the qualifications and skills for, and you learn the rest on the job. That’s also how you get to grow. A job you already know how to do entirely won’t teach you much.

@kimmy159 Wow. That was so bold of you 😅. How long have you been on the job?

I think I might have said my German was better than it really was but it was irrelevant because it wasn't important to most companies I applied to anyway.

Nope. They're going to check so why bother. My highest professional is in a database that can be checked online in seconds

Smh.

If I missed something, it's most likely by accident.

I'm hardly appreciated at my workplace.

But, I'm the one person who wont lie.

No, I was employed by qualifications and reputation on getting things done and not being worried about working outside the square

No. I don't have any educational ones except my work experience. Not intending to change jobs in the foreseeable future.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
Once in a while lol
Thandeka · 31-35, F
@Silentpleasure How did you go before you were caught 😅
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Thandeka Never got caught. Fake it till you make it 😅
Nope

That’s pretty pointless considering they check up on the details and references etc

Nothing beats being appreciated by being 💯 real and honest it’s a buzz 🥰

Employers are going to lie to you so lie to them first. I always did.
