There is a couple of problems with that. More than half the time I have interviewed nobody reads resumes. They know your name and kind of how long you have been employed.
Second, you control what appears on your resume. You can spin it how you want by the facts you include and omit. You list the great selling points about yourself and none of the bad. Don’t lie on a resume because its already under your control and it’s a document of record that can follow you from any point in the past.
This tread isn’t about resumes. It’s about interviewing, specifically as a discussion.
- kube-system 5y agoWhen I interview, I don't spend much time reading the resume beforehand, but I'll ask a few specific questions about it during the interview. If one assumes nobody reads their resume, however, then what benefit would they get from lying?
- austincheney 5y agoA resume is not an interview.
- kube-system 5y agoI never said it was. It’s a reference that most interviewers will have on hand before/during the interview.
