WTF else is new? Everyone lies on their resume.
That's a given. It's when they lie on the application
with their signature that we can burn them on later.

Ask any personnel office and they'll tell you that the Resume
is often reffered to in the industry as the "Liar Sheet".


I once heard a presentation by an HR educator. Someeone in the
session asked why you had to fill out all that stuff on the app. The
answer, as you say, was that you have to sign it. So years later, when
you **** someone off, they pull it and go over it with a fine-toothed
comb. They'll find cause for dismissal in nearly all of them. I once
saw it happen to a guy who'd been on the job eight years.

In any case, an HR manager who can't find a reason to
disqualify any randomly chosen applicant just doesn't under stand
his/her job.
