Rule No. 2: Never forget Rule No. 1.

Sometimes, our own interpretations of events could be seen as lies or exaggerations when the facts are not clear. When you’re assembling your resume and come across a point that may be arguable, sit back and think about it. Then, determine how someone else might see it, and look for words to describe that point that no one would argue with. Take any personal emotions out of it.

Thanks!

I’m sure that there are certain things you can fudge on your resume, as the 0.1% that you mentioned. For example, you can change the employment date to reflect that there wasn’t a gap in employment, if you got laid off from somewhere. You just have to make sure that the employment was quite a bit of time ago or if the company folded.

This way, no one can retrace your steps.

Thanks,
