Y r v so much concerned about fake profile. If a person can work & perform well even with a fake resume, than y the hell r v hovering on this point. HRs r playing their monopoly to shortlist candidates based on how the CV looks, without a least concern of really knowing the capability. Or a person is capable only if he can nicely decorate his CV. Thats the reason y so many consultancies r coming up who sucks up money to make ur profile look damn good. Half the time they r responsible 4 faking. Many of my juniors who r searching jobs r unable to get the interview calls until they revamp their CVs. But more or less, what ever the CV says, the person is the same. Finally, from my point of view, interview should only b the best way to judge a person.

but how many interviews can one take? The applicants are many more - so one way is to restrict people on the basis of academics. That's not really wrong. Also, we should be concerned because people who have REAL resumes AND PERFORM WELL SHOULD get better recognition and salary. Lastly, say you recruit a guy with 2 yrs fake exp and he is working. Tomorrow, if it is found out that he has committed a crime 1.5 years back and has faked many other things (other than resume) to change his life, WHAT WILL YOU DO?

how can can you feel that ther is nothing wrong to fake CVs. Just realise that in every pase of life filtaration keeps on happening. If you can remember lot of your friends sored good marks in 10th & 12th but they managed to make it big. Do you have any justification for them, but however they managed to do something else to go ahaed with life. Similarly who are not getting jobs should not fake Cvs to get jobs but find alternatives.

Emotional outbursts will keep you from getting jobs. The market is open now. Walk ins are happening. Attend the interviews. I have passed through the same situation but I did not fake the resume. I didn't have a paying job the first 5 months of my career. The point is: if you are not positive minded, you will not be a good fit in the industry. Develop happiness and a positive bent of mind. Have belief in life and you will see good things happening to you. But DON'T fake your resume, else you may get succour in the short run but in the long run, you will face more difficulties.
