At BigHugeCorp, I just got a resume from a guy who wants me to consider him for work.
The problem is the latest entry on his resume is for a project that I own, and the entry is ... ah ... less than accurate.
Understand, a expect a certain amount of upselling on resumes I'm considering. As a matter of fact, I prefer it, because when I tear into it during an interview, I'm able to plumb the experience depths of the candidate pretty quickly, and see how confident in (or arrogant of) their abilities s/he is.
This was ... different. We're talking so overblown and inaccurate and taking credit for stuff he couldn't have done ...
It was sad.
I can't be specific without risking outing the guy, but it's seriously something analogous to this:
"Created and influenced detergent particles to work synergistically against refuse particles non-conducive to automotive cleanliness."Translation: "I cleaned cars."
Except he's taking credit for creating soap, too.
Not good.
