What would you do if a friend of yours was telling people and employers that she had credentials she didnt have?  What would you say to her? Would you turn her in?

I would tell her how I felt, but I would not turn her in. Its really her on business, her employers will find out what she know once she is hired.

make another id and do not tell her. use this id for your personal stuff. and if she is not your very close friend change your previous password and tell her that one of your friend saw it so you had to change it. if she demands for new password then say that this time i m not giving it to any one, just because you don't trust if it will be secured with her. i mean she might leak accidently to others.

Lying could get you FIRED and get BAD REFERENCES on your employment history.  not a good idea.  Why don't you find out if anybody has ENTRY LEVEL positions in your field, and apply for an entry level position to work your way up and gain experience.

Well your friend, shoudnt have gotten involved in it, for many reasons. And once you get into something its very hard to get out of, and right now all your friend can do is come up to the situation letting everyone know what she has done and admit her wrongness but other than that its HOPELESS!! if u need more just email!!

Undeniably your trust has been broken. The best way to go about it is to turn your secret around. You can do this by entering the "No big deal" attitude! By convincing yourself that your secret is really not that big a deal you will transpire that idea. If your secret becomes just an ordinary fact, than it loses its power.\nAs for your friend you cannot hold any grudges because after all she didn't really tell anything important. Just remember she is not to be trusted and that sometimes people make mistakes.

I would never hire anyone that I found had lied on their resume, especially in the case of a degree, or prior felonies, or convictions.  So, yes, they should be declined the job opportunity.  Honesty is the best policy.  \n\nIf the individual was well qualified, but say had a felony conviction as a teen, and nothing since, and it has been 10 years, and they disclosed that info, sure - give them the benefit of the doubt.

All the employer needs to do is call the reference to verify the validity of said reference.\n\nI am a manager, and I have fired two employees AFTER THEY WERE HIRED, because I found out they lied on their applications. One lied about her references (it took me a while, but I did find out they were all fabricated), and one lied about his education (I did not receive transcripts like he promised).\n\nDo not lie, because you will get caught (sooner or later) !!!

I'm certain that you have been overlooked for a position because you have a felony on your record.  Many employers also perform background checks so if you did not list it it may come up later on to deal with.  \n\nI would suggest doing some networking so the hiring manager already has a recommendation from a trusted source.  This could help them see you as the person you are now and get your foot in the door.\n\nI would suggest leaving it blank as opposed to checking no because you do sign the application stating it is correct to the best of you knowledge. \n\nThe employer may not even notice that you did not fill that question out.  If they do notice it would allow you the opportunity to explain it in an interview instead of never getting that far.

Ask to see I.D card or drivers license if she in the same area but,if she not if she's willing ask her for her SSN and do a background check or ask a relative or close friend.

She could definitely be fired... lying shows someone of poor character and/or poor judgement.  Encourage her to finish her education.

It is illegal for someone to not hire a person for previous criminal record...But what they usually do is give you some other excuse to try to not hire you...Next time tell your friend to be upfront with it first and they will know if they are going to get the job or not.

They are not your real friends if they aren't prepared to listen to your side of the story.  Tell them you succumbed in a moment of weakness.  You never know, they may have done the same thing but you haven't heard about it yet.

So true!  If all the documentation looks right on paper, then the employer would be in violation of the law for not hiring them.  We'd all accuse them of discrimination.  What a joke!  The employers can't win for loosing, it's double jeapordy.  I think we need to put the blame where it belongs.  Boil it down to the bottom of the pot people!  We're dealing with a huge majority of thieves.  I pray non of you get hit.

Be honest and ask for the information you don't have or where you can get it.  Ask with confidence.

She should report it to the attorney calling her to testify and to the district attorney.\n\nShe shouldn't worry whether it's legal or illegal or if there's evidence or anything else.  Let the DA worry about all of that.  In the meantime, just give them the information they need to do their jobs.

Unfortunately there is not much you can do about someones personal opinion of you regardless of how unprofessional the remarks may be.  About the most you can do is refute the claims made by this person if and when you are given the opportunity.  \n\nA professional reference is more or less a recount of how you performed on a job.  They are used the give the perspective employer insight into your work ethics.  I believe references given by former employers must be provide by HR so if the remarks made by this person were not documented and part of your employment file it is possible you could have some type of lawsuit against your former boss or even the company.
