From Alison Doyle, your Guide to Job Searching
I've written quite a bit about lying on your resume and the consequences when you do. What are the consequences?

The Consequences of Lying on Your Resume
Obviously, it depends on whether you caught. If you don't, there might not be any. Or, it could cost you a job. Here's more on what can happen if you get caught and what options you have.

Would You Lie on Your Resume?
I don't think anyone should lie on their resume - even white lies that "only" stretch the truth. There is a good possibility that it will come back to haunt you. Is it worth taking the chance of not getting a job or getting fired later on? What do you think?

How to Explain a Gap on Your Resume
Many of us take time off, for one reason or another, from working. Sometimes, it's by choice. In other cases, it can take time to find a new job. What the best way to explain an employment gap on your resume and during a job interview? It depends on the situation and what you did while you weren't employed.
