Well, there are a number of things they can do, but let's say two big categories would be the kind of qualification or skills people have, as well as experiences, professional experiences they may have.
And so, as you said, that could be slight embellishment or that could go all the way to large exaggeration or actually making up something.
So as an example, let's imagine you speak a little bit of a second language, maybe Spanish, maybe Chinese, maybe French.
But you're definitely not fluent in that language.
If you know being fluent will actually be an asset for you to get the job, you can actually pretend to be fluent in that second language, for instance.
Or that could be about programming skill if you're working in the technology industry.
Or that could be trying to embellish a little bit your past professional accomplishments because you believe they will look good to the organization or interviewer.
Does someone's age play a role in how they might lie about themselves?
What we know is that there seems to be a little bit more lie or faking with somewhat younger or less experienced job applicants as compared to more senior or experienced applicants.
And the main reason is likely because when you go to a job interview, for instance, when you lie is oftentimes because you believe your qualification may not be strong enough to actually lie.
land a job.
And so if you are fresh out of high school or college and you go to a job interview and you realize your qualification may be somewhat limited, there is an incentive here to make up for that maybe gap by exaggerating, embellishing.
But if you are in, let's say, your 40s or 50s and you have extensive experience, you can rely on that experience in your responses and you don't really need to engage in that faking that much.
Right now, it's much easier for an employer to do any kind of, let's say, background check.
I mean, you can always call a previous employer, but it's easy to snoop on someone's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so on and find some red flags.
And there is quite a bit of research showing that employers do this.
And
I usually use those red flags to make decisions about not potentially hiring someone.
And so it becomes much more important for job applicants to be more mindful and careful about what they do, what they say online.
And also they can somehow clean up their past if they need to maybe alleviate some of the concerns the employer may have.
