Description

In this episode, we dive into a common temptation in the job search process: exaggerating or outright lying on a CV. Nige and Maya discuss the pressure job seekers often feel to make themselves seem more impressive, especially when competing in a crowded job market. The conversation explores the potential risks and long-term consequences of falsifying information, from losing a job offer to damaging one's reputation and career prospects.

Is risking your career or jailtime worth lying about your Excel skills or are you better off admitting you’ve never used it in your life? 

Tune in to find out.
