The most outrageous resume lies employers have seen—and the 4 secret tactics they use to catch a liar via CNBCMakeIt
In 2012, Scott Thompson resigned from his role as CEO of Yahoo — all because he was caught having lied about the details of his college degrees.
Given what's at stake, it's certainly understandable why so many job seekers are willing to take the risk of lying on their resumes, but don't be so naive to think employers are oblivious when reviewing applications. Here a few tactics hiring managers use to catch liars: If the candidate lied about having this role and can't provide anything substantial or a few real-life examples, eyebrows will be raised. Remember, the challenges of being a team leader is very different from the challenges of working under a team leader.
It's tempting to put down that you're"proficient" at everything you've ever attempted to learn . But keep in mind that hiring managers are very aware about this common resume tactic, and will do their best to test whether you've really mastered the skills you listed.
