Have you ever exaggerated just a little bit to put yourself in the best light possible?
Most of us do, particularly when it comes to our bios or resumes. We
take what we've done and word it just so to make ourselves look as
accomplished as possible. It's what we're told to do.
But resumes are tricky. Experts tell us it's okay to airbrush our
photos, glamorize our accomplishments. Yet, we aren't supposed to cross
the line into over-embellishment or take it a step further and add facts
that aren't true.
That's where Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson went wrong. He just was fired
as CEO after it was found he padded his resume with an embellished
college degree, ending his term at the company after
just four months.
