Be Honest About Your Qualifications – Jordan Rayboy Quoted in Chicago Tribune Story.

Moral and ethical concerns aside, workplace experts agree that lying on a resume or cover letter is always a bad idea, especially because it's so easy for employers to uncover the truth.

For employees who held onto jobs during corporate downsizing, shouldering more work without complaint became business as usual.
