dont lie. just stretch the truth.
for example if you worked as a receptionist. say you take about over 500 calls a day as opposed you actually taking 200 calls a day. or if you worked as a trainer and you actually trained 15 people but on your resume say you have trained over 40 people. i mean you wont be thrown off because you do have the experience of training and answering phones. something in the lines of that. good luck OP.

if you're applying to work for a hospital, they will verify employment background and call your references. legally, theyre not allowed to comment if you were a "bad employee" but they can ask your former boss if they would hire you again...if they say no, its basically a wrap for you lol

If you really want, I hear you can just say you worked at Circuit City. Place went out of business so there is no records supposedly. I havent done this tho. One of my boys used to work there and told me to do this.

Also, if they do a background check using your SS, can't they see the pay you've gotten from what company and what dates you got paid? If so, keep that in mind if you are exaggerating dates on employment history.

Just yesterday I received an application from a girl I worked with at a different bank. She put she was a teller supervisor at the time but I know that's a lie because I was the asst. branch manager. Needless to say I'm not calling her back, but I would have if she would have been honest because she was a good employee (apparently not honest tho lol). You can stretch the truth but don't make up titles and positions you never had.

First and foremost, don't put things on there that are fabricated or factually incorrect- there's so much variability across companies / industries in what HR / hiring managers will do to verify prior work experience that it's not worth the risk, because if they randomly pick the one thing you lied about, you're dead in the water.
Secondly, when "embellishing" true facts, work experiences, etc., don't put anything on there you can't speak about in great detail when asked...
I've intentionally picked what may be the most random experience or job duties and asked interviewees to give detailed examples of specific situations and outcomes in those cases, and it's pretty easy to pick out who's being straight-up and who's a**hole is puckered up because I hit the one thing they "embellished" about.
And I don't do that just to be a jerk, it's because that's how I was interviewed, and how I was trained to interview others. Corporations spend a lot of money on ensuring their interviewers know how to cut through the "buzzwords" and get to a person's core leadership and skill traits.
