Should I lie on my resume to get a job?
August 20th, 2015 Posted by Rabbi Daniel Lapin Ask the Rabbi 2 commentsQuestion:
Is it a sin to write about false experience on my resume? If I get an interview for a job then lie about the experience that I had because they always want experience and I know I can do the work if only they gave me a chance, would talking about the job experience I didn’t have be a sin because of the lie?

Answer:
Dear Mimi,
We suspect that you didn’t really write us expecting us to encourage lying. Aside from the moral implications, should you actually lie convincingly enough to get a job, you would have a constant sword dangling over your head.
