I had a interview with the partner where in the last few minutes he mentioned they are taking their time with the process and a final decision might be made a month or two from now so I shouldn’t be discouraged if I don’t hear back for some time. I first submitted an application a month ago. What could this be about?EY

Yes and Yes. Got to where I am by fibbing a bit in interviews and on my resume/cover letters and then learning as I went on. I think women are versatile enough that we can get away with it more often
Never did. I am too scared of the consequences. Besides, I don't want to get hired just because they believed I have the experience and the skills I wrote on my resume.
No. Do I use words that align with the role or highlight aspects that are more relevant? Absolutely. But I don’t want to catfish an employer. It’ll lead to us all being miserable.
No I haven't. I have always been far too afraid of getting caught.
I didn't lie, I just exaggerated. Was desperately trying to leave a job I hated so I talked myself up way more than I normally would. It did work!
