More on CVs
by Philip
We had a number of comments last week following my post about cvs.
It really is very simple. It is a matter of integrity and honesty. If you lie on your cv, what else have you been dishonest about?
In my years advising employers, you usually find patterns of behaviour. An employee who has been found fiddling his expenses, will usually have been fiddling them on a regular basis and not been caught. Similarly if you check that person’s cv or application form, there are usually dishonest omissions or inaccuracies on it.
If you think the ends justify the means on your cv, you will not think twice about fiddling your expenses. That’s why each issue is gross misconduct. This case illustrates the point well. Dishonest on his application form, dishonest at work.
I believe in this particular case , the fact that he was caught led to him being severely stressed, although he was later acquitted of a murder charge. Obtaining a job using false information on an application form can amount to a criminal offence. It’s as simple as that.
