Finding a job is challenging enough and when your competition is cheating with resume lies, it can make standing out even tougher. There are four common lies that experts report will cost you the job. Another common deceit is to cover up employment gaps. If you took time off to raise a family, care for a loved one, go back to school, or take on an independent project, explain your circumstances in your cover letter and be sure to stress how committed you are to finding a job you can grow with.
