15 Interview Memes for Job Candidates Who Embellished Their Resumes a Bit Too Much

Have you ever come across a resume that you know isn't telling you the full story? Regardless of whether you're the job candidate seeking work or the hiring manager seeking employees, most folks know what a highly embellished resume looks like. Of course, we should avoid making assumptions about folks and try to meet them where they're at, but if you see that someone has ten years of experience in a software that is only three years old, you're right to raise some concerns. 

In fairness, some folks have no choice but to exaggerate ever so slightly in order to be considered for positions. I am of the firm belief that tons of people can do a wide variety of so-called "good jobs;" they just need to frame their experience the right way in order to best position themselves as exciting candidates. On the other hand, there will always be the delusional people out there who genuinely believe they have held high-ranking positions that they haven't. Most recruiters have had to confront both types of individuals.
