The resume was an integral part of the selection process. More qualified applicants were passed over unfairly and the employer is being defrauded. If possible the reason for the termination should be made available if someone asks for future references.<BR/>Bill Chase, 26461 Via Juanita, Mission viejo, ca. 92691<BR/> pogofan1@cox.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166579.post-15769258719080722872008-12-08T13:30:00.000-05:002008-12-08T13:30:00.000-05:00I absolutely think an executive should be Fired ! ...I absolutely think an executive should be Fired ! not allowed just to resign, if they gave any false information including academic information on a resume. <BR/>1) If they lied on something so easily verified, what else would they lie about?<BR/>2) It is the Knowledge behind the degree that is important, not the title. Somehow we've forgotten that fact. So the person is cheating the company. They falsely represented themselves as having knowledge they didn't have. They are actually "con men/women".<BR/>3) All resumes should be verified before hiring in any position.<BR/> Marguerite Rathbone R.N.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086073564760668094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21166579.post-31044225310649476512008-12-08T12:23:00.000-05:002008-12-08T12:23:00.000-05:00If a CEO lies on a resume, why would you trust thi...If a CEO lies on a resume, why would you trust this same person with confidential company information, expense accounts, etc.?<BR/>I work for a small company and when hired, all employees go through a thorough background check - credit check (we manage expense accounts), DMV (we drive company vehicles), and all claims to college degrees, work experience, etc. If an employee is found to have lied on their application, they are immediately terminated.<BR/>Why would a company want dishonest people working for them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
