Never, Ever Fib or Push the Truth on Your Resume or in Interviews
By: Harrison Barnes



EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes discusses the importance of presenting yourself as a likable individual and team player rather than making exaggerated claims on your resume.

Harrison cautions candidates to be truthful. People are hired because they find common ground with an employer and are likable, not because of something they have done in the past.

You don’t need to lie or exaggerate your achievements in your resume. Being caught up in a lie or exaggeration is not in your best interest and actually weakens your case dramatically in the eyes of an employer.






Client Testimonials
"Recently, I was laid off from a major corporation. I had no idea how I was going to come back from such a sudden and unexpected event. I came to your company hoping for a cover letter explaining my situation and was pleasantly surprised by your writer's tact. I don't think there could be a better letter phrasing. Thank you so much. I will let you know how things turn out in the next few months. Cross your fingers for me!"

"I think the cover letter is very good. I also like the changes you made to the resume. Thanks."
