I cannot be bothered to lie on my resume. The document is not legally binding. I would not expect any amnesty from an employer if I were to be found out making false claims.
After these longs months of unemployment, or underemployment, I am considering a couple things to improve my chances of landing a job :
- A white name
- Limiting my experience and education to only a few years back - making it seem like I am fresh out of school
- Numerical figures to job experience
- A constant work history (many consecutive years of work experience in a given field)
Below are some links that I have found about job search experiments. Should I try some out for myself? How productive will it be?
