Career Tip: Quick Resume Advice

Never lie on your resume.  While you may be desperate to get a specific job, or even any job, a lie can truly come back to haunt you.  First, your experience is good enough if applying for the right jobs.  Second, a lie, even discovered years down the road, can result in immediate dismissal (think of the Yahoo CEO who lied about having a degree on his resume and was ousted from his position within days).  It will never pay to lie, whether discovered immediately in an interview or checking references, or years from now, the damage is done.

Bonus Career Management Quote & Career Tip

Accountability means living by choice, rather than living by accident.  It's an opportunity
to carve out the future, rather than sit back and see what happens.  Without
accountability there are few opportunities for breakthroughs.


When you are accountable to your promises, you are your word; thus, your relationship
to others (and the whole world) shifts.  Bonus: Practice noticing how often you break
your word and make excuses for it and how having a lack of accountability doesn't
serve you. – Gary B. Henson
