According to a survey of 1,000 job seekers by Resume Genius, nearly half have lied or contemplated lying on their résumés. Common fibs include overstating job titles and masking career gaps.
Victoria Potapenko, a senior recruiter, highlights the importance of context, saying, 'If we talk about false information regarding names, workplaces, education, or degrees, this is critical. Lies about responsibilities or achievements may be harder to uncover without communication.'
Gen Z candidates, with typically sparser employment histories, are reported to be the most likely to lie on résumés, and men are one and a half times more likely to lie than women.
