Can I put fake experience in my resume?




Q: Can I put fake experience in my resume?

A: What you include in your resume is your business. Therefore, what I'm going to tell you about is 'my' policy and belief system.

As a matter of policy, I don't put fake experience in my resume. Nor do I put anyone else's experience in my resume. Nor do I put anyone else's company names in my resume. Why? Because I believe it'd be unwise for me to put any fake experience in my resume. Because I believe putting fake experience in my resume would be unprofessional and unethical. And also because it would hurt my career, and I would be found out.

I would be found out, because in this business I get interviewed by highly skilled software managers, engineers, testers, specialists and bona fide experts who can tell, if I lack the expertise and experience in any of their area of specialty. Also because I work in the company of highly skilled software engineers and testers who are able to tell right away, if I lack the needed expertise or experience.
