70% of job applicants have lied or would consider lying on their resumes

It's no surprise to see such statistics where many candidates inflate their qualifications, job titles, or skills same as many companies do in job descriptions 🤷‍♂️. If you're currently in a job search mode, these secrets revealed by HR professionals are very interesting to know so you can be well prepared, know what to expect and some of what goes on behind the scenes in the hiring process.

If the job is technical, they should really just be using standardized testing or simulations to figure out their abilities. The interview should really just be for culture fit.

Right why is the interview not just a trail run. Nobody has to bs each other. “Where do I see my self in five years? A: “I don’t if I could I would be playing stocks not working for you idiots.” Follow up what will you do to facilitate my grow within this five years?

Stop making posts to promote your blog/business. Redditors hate when people do this.
