Um, no. I was willing to defend part of your argument, but not this. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and I must have misread your other posts if this was your viewpoint from the start. There are so many problems with this kind of enabling justification I really don't know where to begin.
I never said it was OK or if you approve of it, I was simply asking if you understand why some people do it. I certainly understand and can appreciate their way of thinking even if it's wrong.
Like I said before, some people lie on their resume just to be able to get a job and some people lie on their resume because while they can totally do the job with the knowledge and experience they have gained on their own, they don't actually have formal education (and can't afford it even if they wanted to get that education) and that takes them out of the running automatically. So using these two examples, I can understand and appreciate why people lie on their resumes.
Again, I am not saying it's right or making excuses for lying on your resume - but some people feel that they have to and I can understand why they feel that way. I am not talking about what lying on your resume does to society as a whole - I am talking about why the individual feels compelled to lie.
