Was reading on CNBC about this ..... lying or embellishing.
In my career, lying on one's resume, if discovered would have meant an immediate, "walk you to the door" dismissal. No further questions asked. Embellishing might be a grey area ..... but lying about one's education or former places of employment.... yer gone  !
How about you guys? Has the world changed and I missed it? |
t's not about him That is not even subtle. Life isn't binary. I have seen allot of resumes. I had an engineer who left the company and created a LinkedIn account. He listed his professional experience during the period he worked with me. He had help writing his experience - It was so over the top, having never meeting him, his experience level was impressive - I would hire him - but I knew better.
The English language is full of adjectives that can describe an event, place or thing. It all subject to interpretation and more recently tolerance level. And all of us have a different line in which it becomes unacceptable.
From embellishment, story telling, exaggeration, white lie, lie, to pants on fire, there is no set standard. It does become a problem when ethics are compromised or someone's life becomes at risk.
Yes the world has changed - you didn't miss it, neither did I. We become numb to it.
