A lately research of manpower supplier company asked 2188 human resources specialists, which shows us that candidates have tendency to exaggerate about their skills and experience in CV.
In addition, there are 58% of recruiters have met at least a dishonest data. Besides, 1/3 of them (33%) said they started seeing the “make up” the truth phenomenon in CV from after crisis.
All the lies could make your resume stand out in the crowd, it is, but in a negative meaning.
The research shows that there are 51% employers frankly said that they would completely ignore a “fake” CV right away, 40% said it was depend on what they were lying, and only 7% would continue check the resume if they liked that candidate, which can be explained by they think it was a mistake in writing, not on purpose.

- Applicants said he/she was an assistant for the abroad minister. And this country does not have minister position.
- They wrote in CV that they used to gain a medal in Olympic.
- They said they had experience in construction supervisor when built a dog house in few years ago.
- They had 25 years of experiences and they’re just 32.
