Beware of false facts!
At first glance, the answer to the (rhetorical) title question is natural clear and clearly: No. If you are serious about applying at a high level, you should never present false facts in your application documents or in the interview. HR are usually excellently trained and recognize in the process fast inconsistencies in the Presentation of Candidates.
HR departments check routinely the most important details of the Candidate. About skillful questions in job interview in addition, this happens e.g. B. by contacting former employers, unannounced language tests or by examinations at educational institutions for (university) school degrees or similar.
If the fraud comes out later, after you have been hired, you can stand him Employees often dismissal without notice. In short: Don't waste any thought on untruths in the application process. Instead, focus on the question: How do I manage the critical characteristics of my professional career – without too lügen – to communicate appropriately?
1. Personal Information
The books on the subject (advertising)
Personal aspects such as B. a disability, a personal bankruptcy, health Problems (if not decisive for the desired position) or simply yours AgeYou may not disclose your marital status or membership of an ethnic minority. No employer may discriminate against you for these reasons in the application process.
However, many of the characteristics come to light in the course of the application process anyway and then – if previously concealed – are more likely to fall negative in weight. Dealing openly with some topics often turns out to be the right way.
It is important not to put this information too much in the foreground, but not in order to keep it quiet as much as possible: it works in yours Application first and foremost about your professional Competencies and skills. If you report your back pain on page 1, a potential employer will certainly be skeptical.
2. Long periods of unemployment
It makes no sense, of course, gaps in the Curriculum vitae to fill with made up work experience. But: How did you use the forced non-working time? Have you worked on yourself (even through travel) and on professional skills? Did you volunteer? Do not talk about unemployment, but give this phase a meaning. At best, combine it with a quality that could be of interest to the desired employer.
"Packaging" or not - HR managers can of course see at a glance that you were or are unemployed, but distinguish between those candidates who have used this time as best they can and those who have not. Do you belong to the former group and describe this phase appropriately briefly and useful.
3. Lack of training
Discounts for your success (advertising)!
Many candidates complement their lack of Vocational Training and qualifications with embellished or simply wrong information. The exaggerations in the information on the quality of the foreign language skills of the candidates are almost only considered a trivial offence.
It is becoming increasingly common for entire university degrees or even courses of study to be invented, including forged certificate documents. The level of training is for many highly qualified positions e.g. B. in the fields of medicine, law, engineering an essential aspect and a "must-have" in the application process. At this point, it simply seems advisable not to submit an application if you are not qualified.
4. To compensate for gaps in the CV
However, this is not the case in many professional fields. Missing diplomas can be made up by demonstrable specialist knowledge, extensive experience, precise Appear and convincing professional development and successes more than compensate. The following applies again:
Set the technical content that is important for the position and the target company - what did your activities look like specifically? What successes have you been able to record for yourself? - skilfully staged. Don't write and talk about dropping out of your degree, but rather about the content and focus of your studies that you have pursued with passion.
5. A question of perspective
Invest time in the clever design of your application documents and the careful Preparation to personal interviews in the application process. Create one for the recruiter Perspektive, which shows what defines you as an applicant and distinguishes you positively from others.
Restrain less valuable aspects into the background, but stand by. Do not waste your time lying in the application process. It will not go well.
