Cheating your way out of a job?

I think that the article was very interesting and informative. I never knew that so many people lied about their experience on a resume. I get that someone just out of college might add an extra activity they didn't actually particate in or something, but actually lying about the type of degree you received is just plain stupid. For one, if you exaggerate your qualifications then you probably are going to be expected to complete what you say you can, and then time comes and you look like an idiot because you have no idea what you are doing! Being under qualified for a job and getting it would be horrible because it might be something that you can't just pretend to be good at. I definitely think it is a dumb idea for people to lie on their resumes about major things like education, past job history, as well as qualifications because we live in the world of the internet where employers can check up on you! Not to mention the unethical side of the issue.
