He'd never get away with that at the firm I interviewed with last week.
If the manager and team leader decide to make me an offer, my file
will be turned over to an investigation firm that will:
* Request transcripts from all educational institutions from which I
claim to have received degrees/diplomas/certificates.
* Call previous employers for the last 7 years to verify dates of
employment, job titles, job descriptions, salaries, and reason for
leaving.
* Call random names from my list of freelance clients to verify the
projects I listed on my resume.
* Get my credit ratings from several different rating agencies.
* Check to see if I was evaluated for a security clearance within the
last 7 years and, if so, get copies of the investigation reports.
* Arrange for drug tests.
