Applicants generally lie about their past job titles and duties, or add academic degrees that they never completed. But these days, candidates are dumping down their credentials so they don’t appear overqualified. Candidates are looking for stopgap jobs and stretching the truth in a different way.
A lot of employees who were into high-end jobs earlier are coming down the ladder just to get a steady paycheck. They’re doing that: changing job titles to look less impressive.
Candidates are also hiding degrees and other academic achievements and they say that they did not receive any calls unless they changed their qualification in their resume.
To spot this lies the interviewer need to ask probing questions during the interview and when checking references.
Many employers want to avoid hiring overqualified employees, who may not work in lower-level work and may constantly have one foot out the door.
