Resume Integrity

As you develop your resume and cover letter in pursuit of various positions which may offer high appeal and equally high requirements, it can be tempting to stretch the truth. Any short term gain you receive by notching your GPA, test scores, or achievements higher than you actually received will not be in your best interest. Ramifications of lying on your resume can haunt you the remainder of your career.

In many instances your initial application is kept on file with your employer. Dishonesties on this application can be held against you at any point in time later in your career. Sell yourself honestly on all of your employment documents. It will lead you to significantly greater success and happiness throughout your career and your life.
