Are You Being Completely Honest About Your Job Skills?
If you're in the market for a new job, you're probably aware that a solid resume could be your ticket to an exciting offer. Specifically, the skills you detail on your resume could drive recruiters to your door.
But new data from Monster shows that candidates aren't always truthful when listing their competencies. In fact, 85% of recruiters feel that candidates exaggerate their skills on their resumes, and as such, make the hiring process more difficult. Not only that, but two-thirds of recruiters think applicants misrepresent their skills during the hiring process as a whole.
If you're eager to land a new job, it pays to be truthful about the work skills you possess. Misleading recruiters or hiring managers could wreck your chances of getting hired and damage your reputation in the process.
