Fake it till you make it

My resume isn't exactly the most honest document out there - I'd say about 60-70% of it is made up of lies or exaggerations. I added a couple of years of experience to get a better salary when I started out, and it worked! Now I'm getting paid like I've got 4.5 years of experience when I'm actually only a 2-year. I'm doing fine in my current job and my skills are up to par, but I can't help but wonder if I'm setting myself up for trouble down the line. I'm thinking about looking for a job in Europe or the US eventually. I doubt they'll do a background check since I'm from a certain country, but I'm still concerned. Any advice would be appreciated!

What do you think are some white lies that don't matter? To what extent is lying and altering details on resumes acceptable? How should a job seeker approach the honesty thing ?

I had a 6 month internship, and now I showed in my resume as Full time job, and got the offer. Will there be any problem in faking payslip?

Hi everyone, is it a good idea to add your photo to your resume? also, is it bad if it’s more than one page? also, does colour, font, etc have to be standard for creative roles as well? any other tips would be really appreciated!

I will go first, i have deleted my first company from my resume because even though i was very good at coding. They put me in a support project in graveyard shift. I faked illness to get out of shift, and later on was removed and put in angular project. I moved on 6 months later to a good company as backend engineer but i really regret joining my 1st company. When asked , I just say the work was not relevant to what i wanted. Please share your experience too.

Context: I was reading a post where the OP mentioned verifying fake internships, but how is that even possible? Wouldn't they verify with the companies? I can understand faking a PoR, but even that should be difficult. Faking any kind of internship should be nearly impossible. It might be possible to craft a convincing story, but if they conduct a background check, it will be exposed, regardless of how believable the story is. And OP is from IIM-C!!!

This fake IT experience has been popping up these days. Is it true, like how it can't be tracked in verification?

Hi, 24M working in one of the WITCH having 1.3 years of experience total. I've graduated from Tier-3 engineering college in 2021. Last year joined through off campus. I have worked on two short term projects, one is Migration and done basic scripting as development experience there, In second one done manual testing work. In March this year, my second project got completed and I got release from project. I was on bench for few days after that I got a support project which initially i thought I can do some enhancement work here, but utter disappointment this project is, 97% tickets here are Access requests and maximum work of 2 hrs daily. I don nothing apart from mailing clients n shiet and sometimes call with clients. I got frustrated because of this. Now, If I ask for release from this project now, will they accept it? Or will it impact my year end rating, I'm getting afraid now. Please help me what should I do.
