Resume Tip: Be Truthful

by Michael John Liu on December 1, 2009

As I am taking up a blue-collar filler job over the next couple of days that leaves me too physically exhausted to think, let alone string together cohesive sentences, coupled with the fact that I am experiencing the tail end of some sort of sickness I caught over Thanksgiving break, I’ll just post a quick tip with an amusing video.

1. Don’t lie on your resume. Don’t stretch the truth beyond your capabilities. Your resume represents a snapshot of your career stats and if you get hired based on your illegitimate body of work, you’ll quickly be outed when you can’t perform the job up to par.

Don’t be like this guy. Certified fork lift license, my butt.
