The most common interview advice that job applicants receive is to be themselves and not try to be someone else. And while that is most definitely a good practice to follow, sometimes people do lie on their resumes. But what happens after that? How many manage to convert it and get the job? Does it affect their work?
All of these questions got answered when corporate professionals shared their personal stories of embellishing their CVs in a Reddit thread. Take a look.
1. Fake it till you make it?
2. Joey from FRIENDS did this too
3. Crash course
