Honesty's the Best Policy

The resignation of David Edmondson, CEO of RadioShack, has revived the age-old conversation about whether it's OK to lie on your resume. According to News.com the practice is much more common than we might think. Unfortunately, this site links to the awful Fake Resume Guide, a website I refuse to link to again, which actually recommends lying on your resume.

See Louise Kursmark's excellent post on Career Hub for alternative strategies for polishing up your resume while remaining truthful.

Honesty is always the best policy. Just ask David Edmondson.
