What happened to the days when you had to be honest on your resume? We were told that if you are not honest on your resume you will get caught in a lie when your prospective employer interviews. Well, guess what!!! The rules of employment have changed. Your resume is now best made up with little twisted statements. Twisted because the statements aren't really lies- they are just worded in a different way. SO basically they are designed to meet the needs of the employer. Give them what they are looking for. Here is an example- lets say you are looking for a job as a COmpany Executive. Your work experience has been limited to working in restaurants as busboy- server- host- head chef. One of the requirements for your new job is supervisory skills in office management. So instead of saying-
Chef

  • Trained several new recruits in the art of cuisine

It has been suggested that you now relabel this as-

Deparment manager

  • Recruited and trained new hires raising department productivity.

Hhhmmmm......
