Never attended college? Make one up. Went to a bad college? Claim you went somewhere obscure and hard-to-verify. If you were a straight-up 2.0 student, make it a 3.5. Mention a few fake honors to sweeten the deal.

]]> 80856 4914 0 Step Lie about jobs Modify your employment history to include at least one company that famously has gone down in flames, such as Enron. This guarantees sympathy and makes it nearly impossible to verify your past.

]]> 80857 4915 0 Step Lie about responsibilities Concoct a stirring narrative of what you did at your fake employer, including your job title, responsibilities, accomplishments, and salary. A large fake salary is actually more believable than a small one.

]]> 80858 4916 0 Step Rewrite details Adjust any details of your real job history that you never liked or always thought were unfair. If getting lunch every day for your boss was part of your job, claim you were involved in “culinary engineering.”

]]> 80859 4917 0 Step Make up personal interests Pick “personal interests” that set you apart from the pack and are too boring for anyone to care to check. Claim you run 20 miles a day, or that you won the National Book Award in 1974.

]]> 80860 4918 0 Step Prep your references Be sure to give a copy of the finished product to anyone listed as a reference so they can familiarize themselves with your fabrications and begin answering their phone with the name of your fictitious employer.

]]> 80861 4919 0 Fact A survey of professional recruiters showed that job seekers most often embellish in the area of accomplishments (37%), followed by job description (29%) and salary history (25%).
