Fake Resume - Part 2

In the How to Fake a Resume Guide there are basic instructions, including a definition of what a fake resume is. The explanation is “Basically, a fake resume is one in which specific alteration of your employment history is made in order to deceive a human resources person or hiring authority in order to get hired”. The advise offered is that a person should not lie on their resume about something if they have no basic knowledge of that subject to begin with – such as with programming language or computer skills. However the advise offered is if the candidate is familiar with the subject and feels they can get up to speed rapidly once they have the job, go ahead and pad the resume. In other words, only lie about things that can be backed up.

One bit of advise that is also offered to job candidates following these guidelines is to have the candidate “smoke out” the employers that use professional screeners. The candidate is advised to ask the hiring manager “I’d like to tell my references who will be calling. Will you call or will you use a service?” Candidates are then advised that if it is a service that is going to be calling, the candidate should back off and not pursue the job. If it is not a professional screening they are advised “it’s full speed ahead”.
