81% lie on their resume to help them get a job according to AI Resume Builder.

Gen Z admits to lying 5x more than Boomers.  Men 2 times more than women.  Things like when they were employed in previous jobs (39%) and experience (36%). Only 21% say they have regrets.  When it comes to lying, it is a preferred technique for getting a leg up on employment.

Some companies have zero tolerance – a fireable offensive if caught or as global staffing firm Robert Half’s Paul McDonald says “A resume lie is like a bad tattoo—sooner or later, you’ll regret it, and it’s a lot harder to remove than it was to get.”

Ok to forward this to someone.
