NEVER Do This on Your Resume!

🚫 Don’t lie on your resume. 

🤔 Obvious, right? Unfortunately not for many people.

👉 Please don’t create jobs that never existed or give yourself responsibilities you never had. 

🔢 When writing numbers, use your best guesstimate. It can be hard to remember exactly (which is why it’s always a great idea to track all your metrics while you are happily and gainfully employed) but here’s how to honestly write numbers, when you aren’t 100% certain. 

✅ Think about it this way. If you delivered a presentation, while you may not remember exactly how many people were in the room, you certainly know if it was about 5 or about 50. If you wrote 50 on your resume, and it was really 48 or 54, that doesn’t matter. You were really close.

❎ But if you know that it was just a few people, writing 50 is a lie.

⭐ Once a potential employer catches you in a lie on your resume, they will question the integrity of everything you have written. Not worth the risk, to your name and your reputation.

🤩 Take effort when representing yourself, for it is a true reflection of your Personal Branding.
