I’ve never heard of people going to prison or facing legal charges for lying on a resume. It’s just not a good plan in general because eventually truth always comes up in the fact that a person can’t do the job they say they can, so they get fired or have to quit. The way I see it as you don’t have to have a good memory if you don’t lie. Just say what it is. If you lie, you have to have a good memory to memorize the lies or you have to study it. I don’t have a good memory and being trilingual I have three languages running in my head no way no how I can remember anything. I can’t remember what really happen so no way I can memorize anything that didn’t happen.

But no no one goes to jail for lying. I am on interviewing committee in my work place. Some people do lie. We always find out. Usually it’s visible on the interview but sometimes a little research is needed. So they don’t get a job anyways. If you interview a lot of people, you spot lies easy.

But some subjective opinions aren’t really lies I guess?

I don’t think Hope said she lies. I think it was maybe like wording it differently? We have somebody now in support position who said she is a great team player. If by team player she meant “meddling busy body and gossip” then maybe. Lol but she thinks it’s a team player. That’s subjective. Not really a lie per se.

I don’t know about expensive life style. I am not the one to judge people spending money. I think it’s all a choice. I am a big time spender and like some pricey things. No interest in changing that. I know I probably should. But that means I need to stop enjoying things. Life is too short for that.
