I’ve heard of many people embellishing on their resume here and there, and I’m thinking about doing the same thing. I truly would appreciate some friendly advice. Should I do it to work in my field of dreams? I have a Masters in Information Technology with Concentration in Cybersecurity. I’ve been a keynote speaker in the past for Secure World Expo. (Cyber Geeks gathering). I don’t have that much experience but do have technical knowledge gained through internships, education and some work. I work in banking now and wanted to make the jump in IT analyst or Cybersecurity analyst. Since, I lack experience should I make some job duties up in past employment? I have truly been someone that wants to do the right thing but am sick and tired of banking. Not to mention Cybersecurity is my passion. Please give me some advice. I really appreciate it.
Making things up is a good way to make sure you *don’t* get hired.
