Should you be automatically fired for lying on a resume?

Hannah Ferrier, director of the Mediterranean Deck and Kasey Cohen , air hostess had a bit of a problem when Kasey handed over a resume by posing as a highly qualified barista, in addition to being an expert in deep sea catering. Yes, not so much.

Unfortunately, Hannah caught – too late – the lies, and found herself stuck with an air hostess who did not even know how to make a cup of coffee two hours before the rental. Wow .

"I gave my resume to a friend back home who is boating to polish it," Kasey explained. "I hardly looked at it, honestly, and I did not know that the money service or the barista training was something so upscale … it was giving me air of a superhuman and I am not. "

lying on a resume? It depends, says workplace expert Dan Schawbel.

"Most lies relate to the desire to stand out in a competitive job market," he says. "People feel that they have to beautify themselves to stand out, they think that" if I can look smarter and more effective maybe I can get the job done ", and if you think or know instinctively that you're going to get a job done, others do it, you must "

Dan says that it is not automatically a felony that can be fired.

"It depends on the extreme gravity of the lie," he says. "Some employers think that if you believe that you will get away with it, you will continually think that you will get away with it.But all that is extreme – like lying about a degree or your grades or the results you have gotten into an old job, or worse, the list of an employer for which you have never worked are bad. Plus, everyone is Google, employers use it to filter applicants even before they question you, which allows them to know what's online. "

A recent CareerBuilder survey found that three out of four HR managers (75 for one hundred) said they had taken a lie on a resume.The most outrageous one guy said that he was working for Microsoft but had no idea who Bill Gates was.
