Have you ever considered padding or exaggerating your qualifications on your resume? Maybe the issue is the lack of a degree, a gap in your work history, having been fired from a past job, or one of a thousand other possible challenges. No matter what the temptation is to lie on your resume, not only is it not worth it (it may get you fired!) but it isn't necessary. Padded resumes are often the result of job seekers' insecurities about some perceived weakness or lack in their qualifications. But, by using a few simple and ethical resume writing strategies, you can easily frame the credentials that you do have in the most positive light, rather than faking credentials that you don't have.
