There is never any reason to lie on your resume. Once you start lying, you have to keep lying. The truth is, it's much easier to remember the truth. Lying requires way more brain power, because a person must keep remembering all previous lies. This leads to more lies. And the hits just keep on coming . . .
This point was highlighted last week with the resignation of David J. Edmondson, the former CEO of Radio Shack. The irony is, he had a solid 11 year track record at Radio Shack. So he's not a bad person. It was just a case of poor judgement.
There are plenty of word smithing techniques for pumping up the volume on a resume, without lying.
