lied/exaggerated about experience to get a job.......

[SugarMouse1]

Hi there,

I hope I'm not going to be too flamed for this, but it honestly seemed like the obvious thing to do as I get nowhere by being completely honest in job applications/interviews.

The job is as a sports receptionist. I lied about doing it as a job before when I had done it as A SMALL PART of a job before, if that makes sense??

Anyway, I really hope it won't be obvious that I don't know what i'm doing, eek!

Any sports receptionists out there???

Also if you have been a sports receptionist before, you have been a sports receptionist before.. that's it. They don't expect you to say 'I have been 1% of a sports receptionist, the question is 'have you been a (sports) receptionist ever' If you have for 1% of time you have.

I don't for example, ever considered myself to have been a filing clerk, but I have never been in a job where accurate filing wasn't needed. If a filing clerk job came up I would say that I had done filing work for 10 years.

As long as you're capable to do the basics of the job I think you'll be fine. I've employed staff in the past who claimed they were computer literate when they weren't and it was an absolute bloody nightmare.
