I enjoyed the show... but my world will hardly come crashing down
around me without it. Goodness knows what posessed him to make so much
crap up about himself, and goodness knows what posessed the food
network to BELIEVE it! Don't they do ANY background research on people
before they hire them? Seems like they just wait for someone to
embarass themselves publically and then do a retrospective cleanup...

Lied on his resume. Easy enough to avoid if you are honest.

LOL!! I don't think there is a person alive that hasn't 'embellished'
their resume a little bit. It's all part of the 'selling yourself'.

In this case though, he was advertising a Rolls Royce but selling a Yugo
with over 100000 miles. Perhaps a little much on the build-up.

LOL!!

Just did a GIYF on him.

On his 'resume' is a quote by him........

"My passion is to reach beyond inspiration - to be spectacularly
creative."

seems he lived up to that!!

Maybe you should check into what he claimed before saying
it's just the usual thing.

Being a Pom in a foriegn land, he probably thought no-one would check up
on him.

The sheer stupidity of the man to claim to be a Knight of the Realm, and
to have had a castle given to him by the Queen!!!

it's too bad that outright lies are now considered 'embellishments' by
some people.

I usually lied on resumes, I tended to understate my credentials, I
didn't want to sound too good to be true.

I thought the deal with a resume is that you cited your qualifications and
previous experience in order to prove that you are qualified for the job. If
you get accepted on the basis of that resume and it turns out that you lied,
you don't have the qualifications and experience that got you the job.

it seems foolish. a great many places will can you even if you've
been working out o.k. otherwise if they discover you've lied on your
resumé.

I've never did a "real" resume. I first hooked up with the cumpnee when
I was a grad student, and all I did was fill out an application. I did
write up a short list of stuff I'd worked on previously when I applied
for my current position, but that was no biggie. The manager just
wanted to know which areas I already had experience working in.

Yup -- not worth the risk. As a young'un, I missed out on jobs for
lack of experience. Sucks, but that's life. I can't imagine lying to
get a job. Well, maybe if I was in some horrible situation where I
had starving kids to feed...

I had no "experience" with office work (so I worked in restaurants) when I
was 20 but was well qualified to do it. I typed (at that time) 80WPM with
very few errors (quite important back then, since cc: actually meant *carbon
copy*!). I already had computer skills since I'd been playing around with
an IBM-PC (two floppies, woo hoo!) and had taken several (mainframe)
programming classes as part of my college curriculum. The statement
"Experience Required" in ads for office work ticked me off. One day I'd had
enough. I'd been seeing this same ad for a receptionist 3 Sundays in a row.
I sent my resume along with a polite but pointed cover letter. I suggested
when they got tired of looking for someone with all that experience, give me
a call. They did, and hired me to be the marketing secretary because I had
more skills than they required for receptionist! I worked for them, and
moved up in the organization, for 8 years before moving on to focus on more
computer-oriented work. Sometimes you just have to put yourself out there.
All they can do is say no
