I’ve lied on my resume with no hesitation. I use to play video games at my university D’angelo center that Equals “President and founder of the video gamers club” to me.

I use to help my professor count how many students missed class, that sounds like “high level research assistant” to me (which falls under work experience).

When I did security in undergrad one of my post workers use to ask me to watch his stuff for him. That sounds like being a security supervisor to me.

At the end of the day we’re black and have to work twice as hard.

:manny: The game is the game.
Lmaoo reminds me of this one stand up by this one female comedian (I think it was Roz G) how she was working with prostitutes resumes.

But you ain't lied at the bolded.

This job I want requires me to have 3 years work experience using this computer program that I only used in college but never in a work environment

I know the basics of the program & probably can get better if I practice in my spare time.

Would I be wrong if I said I have experience using this program in a work environment? My current manager I'm close with, can probably back me up if they need references
Yoh would look stupid and expose yourself potentially if they really put you to task. Saying you did it doesn't give you proficiency

Lie. I only endorse lying if it's bosses or police type shyt. But if they want they can contact every job on there, that's the only problem.
Legally the only thing past employers can do is confirm dates of your employments. Well they can say other shyt but they open themselves up to libel lawsuits and it’s not worth it.

Lying on a resume is tricky depending on what it is you’re applying for, If you can’t code don’t lie about it

A friend of mine is a pathological liar and his resume is glowing with bullshyt, but all he does is drive trucks :manny:

I wouldn't lie about having experience with a program/software out of fear that they wont train me

Would just say that you know the basics are not proficient yet
