大伙都想在簡歷中可以盡量地表現源于己的能力，讓自己能在海量的求職者中嶄露頭角，這一點無可厚非，但過分地在簡歷中夸大只能事與愿違，要記住，白色的謊話仍然是謊話。假如招聘單位發現你簡歷中夸大其詞，你將會被毫不猶豫地淘汰。
時刻要牢記，寫簡歷不是寫小說，必須要實事求是。
Every year, I see resumes from students who try to stretch the truth in order to sound more desirable on paper. Resume inflation. This lack of honesty, when discovered, becomes an instant knockout factor which disqualifies that person from further consideration. Corporate1 recruiters are paid to screen people out, and the quickest and surest way to do so is when a white lie or exaggeration is found.
A recent graduate attempted to show experience in a computer language by placing it on his resume. It generated calls, but it also generated rejection2 letters when it became apparent that he did not really have a foundational understanding of the language. Doors were shut which could have otherwise been open to him.
Remember, the resume is not a work of fiction. While it should emphasize the positive, it should never emphasize what does not exist.
