A lie being as little as adding two months to work experience all the way to straight up lying about degree, jobs held, GPA.

FYI haven't lied. I haven't lied but am curious.

95% baw. The other 5% haven’t figured out that lying is the only way to get that foot in.

I read a ton of resumes in my day job.

Why do people put GPA on a resume unless they were manga/summa cum laude?

A resume, my baw, is a food tool of the poors. Much like that cardboard sign you see bums holding on side of interstate

If they don’t lie then they stretch the truth about their accomplishments or else they really believe their own bullshite. one or the other.

If you are going to lie, then lie big. I always try to put a very famous person down as a reference because it grabs attention but is impossible to verify.

It really doesn't matter, lies are revealed in 30 days or less depending on the size of the company and level of responsibilities.

Who gives a shite if someone lies about their phone skills?
