BBB is interviewed for a story on CareerExcuse.com

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

BBB is interviewed for a story on CareerExcuse.com a Web site offering to help job-seekers by providing fake job references by KENS-5 San Antonio.

While the Better Business Bureau did not give us a ringing endorsement, they did not question the legality of our service.

According to BBB in their interview about CareerExcuse.com, their main argument is that misleading information on a employment application is grounds for dismissal.   Well, maybe the BBB would be surprised to learn that in a recent study by resume checker HireRight shows that:

“Eighty percent of all resumes are misleading, 20 percent state fraudulent”

Reported problems with resumes:

Misleading information 80 percent, fraudulent degrees 20 percent, Altered employment dates 30 percent, Inflated salary claims 40 percent, Inaccurate job descriptions 30 percent, Companies no longer exist 25 percent, Falsified references 27 percent.

Bottom Line:

It appears most new hires today are just as likely to be fired for “lying on their resume” as anybody else who uses a professional job reference service. The key is to exceed your new employer’s expectations with your job performance and become a valuable asset to the organization.  Failure to do such, or to perform poorly for your new employer will only invite them to look for excuses to fire you.

Be sure to check the laws in your state and local area.
