Didn't lie but exaggerated. About 2 jobs ago, I put on my resume that I was procifient in Microsoft Access and Excel when I had only dabbled in them during this Computer Science 101 class I had taken in college.
My first two months on the job didn't require me to use Excel. I was more so using Access and doing some basic accounting on another program. One day the superintendent calls me into her office with this big ass spreadsheet with all these complicated formulas on the computer screen. Says "You did say on your resume that you were good with Access and Excel right?
I'm having trouble wit this spreadsheet. Could you take a look at it?"
I'm standing there lookin like
on some Southwest Airlines "Wanna get away?" shyt. I look at it and I don't understand shyt!
I can't just come out and say that I so I click a couple of things and stare intently at the screen for about 30 seconds. Then I start finessing some BS answer about how the way I learned to use it vs. the company's particular format would only convolute the numbers on some Kevin Hart "checkings vs savings" shyt. Lookin like..
She told me not to worry about it. She'd have the secretary (who usually did it but was off work that day) look at it tomorrow. Went back to my office like
. Never got asked to do that again but I did remove that shyt from my resume for every job since.
Brehs, don't put nothing on your resume that would lead you being exposed. You never know when you might get asked to do it, especially on these corporate jobs.
