Lying on my reume....?



ok! im pretty damn tired of not having a job because of no experience. so i devised a little plan to add sum false things to my resume... ok i said i was an office aide at my highschool which was true i only did it for a week but i put 8 months on my resume and wrote intern next to it. and for my second job i put i was a office assitant at a car dealership and wrote intern next to it. and i recently worked FOR REAL and added it in there do u think i could get in big trouble for that? its not like i put i worked and got paid i put an intern basically saying i did it for me to build up my resume what cha think?

No you won't get in big trouble. You run the risk of losing out on more opportunities if people call and verify your employment history before hiring you.
Lying on a resume, might land you a job, but remember if they find out you will be fired immediately. If you want to add the experience, just give the month and year you did the job, do not lie about the length of time you did it. When you have to apply for another job, fired from last job for lying will never look good on your resume. Companies have the right to check out your information. It is better to get the job honestly than to be fired for false information. Consider additional volunteer jobs for additional experience on your resume, and NEVER lie on your resume.
You could include just your job and title, but you don't really have to state the length of time you worked in that position.

That may be a good compromise, but I do know hiring managers who look for length of time wokred. Still, if you really want to include the position but you only worked one week, just leave out the time information.

That way, you cannot be accused of lying on a resume, and get fired for cause.
If they check with your formal employers, they will find out you lied.
never lie on a resume, this gives the employer the perfect excuse to terminate you if they feel you can't handle the job or if someone does't like you
I think you'll never get a job if you spell like that on your application.
These days they interview you first. Then if they like you, they verify your references.
