Fraudulent Credentials
If the need arises to fire an employee, but
documenting the issues become troublesome, review their résumé. In
the soft market of the early twenty-first century, it is not uncommon
for a desperate job seeker to forge a work history with a defunct
dot-com. The desperate applicant hopes that this fraud will not be
detected. This phenomenon presents the IT manager with a unique
challenge in verifying employment history with a company that no
longer exists or contacting job references who, perhaps, cannot even
speak English.
Because of the explosive growth of the IT
industry, fraudulent résumés have become increasingly common. Job
candidates have been known to fabricate their college education and
the scope of their work experience, smooth over gaps in their
employment history, and exaggerate their job skills. In some cases,
job skills may be exaggerated inadvertently, because the job candidate
has only a brief exposure to a technology and does not understand
their own limitations.
