Oh I agree, "honesty is the best policy." Thing is, it'd be nice if it were something more of a two-way street. The same companies that would be incensed at the slightest fib on a resume will quite often lie to the candidate, at some stage or another in the selection process -- or like as not hire through recruiters to do the lying for them, as if this absolves them of any ethical responsibility. Not to mention the lies that start trickling on down from on top, once they start the job. But that's a different topic.
