My sister has been offered a new job, it's a huge step up for in terms of salary, career progression etc etc. I am happy for her.
But she told me she exaggerated things a bit in the job interview. She told the new employer her current job has slightly more responsibility than it actually does. For example, she told them she manages three people, but actually these people are her colleagues. She helped train them on basic things as she's been there longer, but they are on the same level as her and they all report to the same manager. She said she's helped get them up to speed on the job and everyone lies in job interviews? :s
I'm worried on her behalf - will the new employer ask her current employer about this? Will they ask about this kind of thing in reference requests?
