I just came across this article which contains a few fun facts about getting a job. This article has two lists named "five most common tall tales in resumes" and "job interview tactics". The lists are displayed below.
Five Most Common Tall Tales in Resumes
- Paycheck Pretenders : Exaggerate current or previous compensation
- Eager Embellishers : Exaggerate details such as duration of job, gaps of time between jobs, etc
- Time-Will-Tells : Lie about skills; lies that would eventually become evident
- Fact-Fudgers : Exaggerate current or previous job responsibilities
- Phonies in Disguise : Falsify credentials key to the field or position
- Practice interview answers with a friend or a mirror
- Dress conservatively and appropriately
- Know how to get to your interview
- Bring a notebook and pen, along with extra copies of your resume
- Eat a sensible meal before your interview
