Liars.
Have you lied on your resume before? Well if you answered yes you aren't alone.
Turns out executives are resumes fibbers as well.
After researching the resumes of 500 corporate executives, they discovered 23 percent of executives lied about their accomplishments. What did they lie about? Quite a few things, actually …
Forty-four percent embellished their job descriptions, 48 percent inflated their salary, 52 percent embellished their academic history, 60 percent increased the size of the team that they managed and 64 percent lied about their accomplishments. And the No. 1 resume lie? Seventy-one percent of the executives misrepresented the number of years they'd served at their jobs.
