lying on your resume and getting caught. what are the penalties? (1 Viewer)

[Chris.]

can you even get in any trouble?

 

[cro_angel]

Well if you are caught I would assume they wouldn't hire you?
I wouldnt want a liar working at my workplace that's for sure..

 

[BlackDragon]

of course not... lying isn't against the law...
but you won't get the job (depending on the lie)

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
Hey, baby my nose is getting big
I noticed it be growing when I been telling them fibs
Now you say your trust's getting weaker
Probably coz my lies just started getting deeper
And the reason for my confession is that I learn my lesson
And I really think you ought to know the truth
Because I lied and I cheated and I lied a little more
But after I did it I don't know what I did it for
I admit that I have been a little immature
Fucking with your heart like I was the predator
In my book of lies I was the editor
And the author
I forged my signature
And now I apologise for what I did to you
Cos what you did to me I did to you

[FERGIE]
No,no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don't lie
No, no, no, no, yeah, you know, know, know, know, you gotta try
What you gonna do when it all comes out
When I really see you & what you're all about

No, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don't lie
Yeah, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you gotta try

[APL]
She said I'm leaving
Cos she can't take the pain
It's hard to continue this love it ain't the same
Can't forget the things that I've done inside her brain
Too many lies committed too many games
She feeling like a fool getting on the last train
Trying to maintain but the feeling won't change
I'm sorry for the things that I've done and what I became
Caught up in living my life in the fast lane
Blinded by lights, cameras, you know the fame
I don't know the reason why I did these things

[APL and FERGIE]
And I lie and I lie and I lie and I lie
And now our emotions are drained
Cos I lie and I lie and a little lie lie
And now your emotions are drained

[FERGIE]
No, no, no, no baby, no, no, no, no don't lie (no, don't you lie)
No, no, no, no, yeah, you know, know, know, know, you gotta try (got to try, got to try)
What you gonna do when it all comes out (what you gonna do baby)
When I really see you & what you're all about
Nonono babe, no, no, no, no don't lie
Because you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, gotta try

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ba da ba da ba da ba da badabada

[TABOO]
Yo, I'm lying to my girl
Even though I love her
And she all in my world
I give her all my attention and diamonds & pearls
She's the one who makes me feel on top of the world
Still I lie to my girl, I do it

[APL and FERGIE]
And I lie and I lie and I lie till there's no turning back
I don't know why, (and I lie and I lie till I don't know who I am)

Seriously don't

 

[breaking]

[Uncle Jonny]

"lol fraud"

 

[breaking]

nah if its really serious they're usually like

"lol dan is sxc"

 

[Uncle Jonny]

nah if its really serious they're usually like

"lol dan is sxc"

man that happens heaps....


another thing can happen too; if its REALLY REALLY SERIOUS, they say

"matt is teh hott LOL"

 

[vulgarfraction]

of course not... lying isn't against the law...

Haha slander is though.

What were you plannign to lie about?

 

[googol]

Urm, I reckon they could have a reason to sue you, and you would have to pay damages to your employer.

 

[hopeles5ly]

You must be pretty shit or lazy, to have to lie on your resume.

 

[kalli]

Just think of what happened to Bearing's Bank when Nick Leeson was hired after lying on his resume...

Just make sure that if you do lie, you aren't going to screw other people over at the same time.

 

[Evilo]

other than the above, if you got caught lying on your resume at a chain store like coles myer. Then they would ban you from getting any job at ANY of their stores. Remember thats - Coles, Haris Technology, Target, Theos, Liquorland, Officeworks.. etc
Dont lie dude. If it was an important factor they will check it anyway.

 

[glycerine]

it really depends what you're lying about. for example, if it's a graduate position and you lie and say that you have the requisite degree and you don't, depending on the role, its responsibilities etc they do have the right to take you to court.

if it's something stupid like saying you got a uai of 95 instead of 85, who cares?

 

[MaNiElla]

meh.. they'l find out once you start working, they'l figure it out, and your going to be insulted and humiliated big time

 

[Pace_T]

ive always lied on my resume,, and even the job i got now i htink i got it coz i lied
if the job ur applying for isnt that serious, like just a casual job then i doubt u'll get into major trouble if ur caught. maybe if it was a proper career type of job and u do it then ur crazy

 

[Chris.]

hmmm i made this thread ages ago...
was contemplating about lying about experience. but nahh
cbf

 

[SipSip]

can you even get in any trouble?

If you're applying for sales...might get a promotion straight away...although it would have to be a convincing lie
