GETTING A JOB!

Hi Everyone,

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
Job Interview Tactics
  • 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
  • Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early
