‘My father wants me to lie on my resume’: Reddit users encourage techie to stretch the truth

A techie claimed in a Reddit post that he is in a dilemma about whether to lie on his resume. “My father wants me to lie on my resume to get a job in this market,” the Reddit user wrote. “I am currently working as a Front End Intern at a company since 6 months but here's the catch the founder of the company was my father's junior. So go ahead and don’t think much about it.” A third posted, “You will be interviewed accordingly so if you know enough to crack the interview then there won't be issues and yes almost everyone has to lie. Most of the time they are ok since they know that it's rare for someone to know everything but just in case they really do want full stack all rounder then in the worst case you'll get rejected for the role… that's it.” A fourth wrote, “Remember to fake it properly, getting caught in background verification is a sure way to end your career.”
