Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Covering gaps in employment is a common form of lying during a job interview, as it is seen as an unfavorable aspect of a candidate's resume. Pretending to have worked for a particular employer or claiming to have worked for a fictitious company are far less common and easily discovered through background checks. Misrepresenting height and weight is unlikely to have any bearing on a candidate's qualifications for a job.
