Can I lie about organizations I was loosely apart of on a resume?

What is considered negative?

Man, what y'all are doing is irresponsible.

What happens when you hire someone with a Facebook that "checks out" and that person does a horrible job or whatever you all associated with having a "negative" Facebook?

Do y'all get reprimanded or fired for making a bad hire?
fukk outta here.

1. My original post suggested I thought it was extreme


2. That is far from the only factor by which we hire someone.


3. Hiring someone who the kids find pictures of smoking pot or something is a valid concern, and has happened.


4. fukk outta here

i saw this happen once. Dude was mad pissed but then he said he had a degree when he didn't :(

Yea, don't lie about having something as easily verifiable as a degree though. Lie about experience and qualifications, especially if you have the knowledge to back those lies up.

Use the lie to get the interview and get into that office, once you're there, impress with knowledge and get the position. If a hiring manager is impressed or influenced, he/she could care less about a reference (hence the phrase, "who you know, not what you know").

Always fake it until you make it gentleman. Always.

yeah turns out in larger corporations the hiring manager isn't always the final say. What's funny is the manager that was above the dude i referenced went to bat for him but HR told them both because he lied that was that.

I've worked for smaller companies that just turned a blind eye but in places with well defined policies and separate departments and such things can get more difficult.

True. Lying about a degree is a tough one to get around too.

I took a risk recently, and I put my membership of Conservative organizations on my Resume. I also annotated my campaign work for Conservative politicians.

That was actually a stupid move on my part. I applied to many organizations, and I may have been rejected because of that.

In short, don't put anything controversial on your resume, and that includes Political organizations (I'd say that Liberal Orgs are safe though), Hunting clubs, outdoors clubs, clubs that you are loosely affiliated with, and anything that has a reputation (good or bad). Why outdoors or hunting clubs? people have perceptions of Character-types that are in clubs like that.

I would even be careful about volunteer work that you put on your resume. if you're in school, I would just put Academically focused organizations only. If you're black/hispanic and you're applying to companies that are known to have diversity programs (big companies), I would put any ethnic organizations that you belong to. I wouldn't take that risk if you weren't Black/hispanic though.

My twitter account would never land me a job if anyone were to look at it.

Do y'all make the new hire take a drug test before the job?

:what::what:

But you are gay??? I already told u I just don't like people being in the closet... it leads to all sorts of issues in our community. However, I wouldn't have said anything negative to you, if you wouldn't have randomly said some 'sh1ttalking hater' reply to a post of mine in the first place.

:stopitfakkit: acting like you were actually posting a legitimate response that was relevant to the thread. Instead, you posted a hating, random, irrelevant, jealous, insecure, weak statement about sentence structure on a forum and career choices. Then tried to diss me.

I'm not sure why you need my attention, but you can just chill because I don't have any serious issues with your weak ass, plus I wasn't saying I was some "corporate bigwig" - I just said I am occasionally asked to do checks and people should keep their online presence clean if they're seeking a job.

Furthermore..... lol, at you trying to blame others for you being in the closet. I don't agree with that, people who are comfortable with who they are, tend to be are more accepted than insecure, weak, despicable characters such as yourself.
