Topic	If I lie about a job on a resume, what are the chances they'll check?

Do it, whats the worst that can happen They can fire you and probably take legal action against you for fraud among other things, that's what. You should NEVER lie on your resume when it comes to experience. That being said, it doesn't mean not to emphasize that, even though you don't have the direct experience, you have trained in that area of expertise. OHJOY90 posted... DeathMagnetic80 posted... Hard to say. I've had jobs definitely check to see if I was ever employed at places on my resume. Yeah, in my experience most places seem to check, especially if its through a recruitment agency or if they have a big HR Department, smaller places probably won't check though. Although a lot of the time they don't finish those checks until 1-2 weeks after the person has already started working. That's because recruitment agencies need to justify their ridiculous prices (and I've been stung by them doing a half hearted background check), and large HR departments have workplace laws to abide by and documentation to retain should they ever get investigated. --- If you can understand this, I'm 2/cosC for you. <cite>gloBal enemy posted [p:926519019] in If I lie a...
