Holy shit. I can understand fudging resumes to suit a job you're applying for- I'm not a stuffy prick bastard, I have been known to write a flowery letter of reference for a former employee or two- but within reason. I would never reccomend someone for a job I felt they were unqualified for or endorse them for a position they never held.

Some of this shit is just fucking amazing. Like a front desk girl lists herself as an Online Marketing and Advertising Professional and claims she oversaw an entire affilaite network. Say what?!

If you lie on a printed resume you've got a better shot at getting away with it, but just bullshitting on a public website? Prospective employers may not know but anyone who you've worked with or worked for that comes across it is just going to think you're a douchebag.

Hey, maybe it will help get you the job, but good luck keeping it.
