Hello guys, I just got an offer EY. Included a professional certification which I was planning to rewrite cos I didn't pass it at first sitting, in my CV, before I was invited for the interviews. Would this be counted as an offence during a background check? EY

This person was not prepared for the response they are getting. Don’t post asking for opinions if you were just seeking validation. It doesn’t matter that the cert wasn’t required for the job, but it definitely helped you get the job whether you believe it or not. That’s kinda how certifications work.

It’s telling that OP is only responding to the people saying it’s okay and thanking them.

OP, this is not okay, and even independent of your poor integrity, bad news does not get better with time. EY will absolutely fire you for lying about a certification, and this isn’t some silly oversight on your part. You added a credential you don’t possess to your CV.

I dont agree with the fact that you left it on, but in all seriousness, the odds if them finding out let alone fire you for it is small if it wasnt a requirement. Just don’t include it in background check

Okay, thanks a lot.

Regardless of whether it will be a problem or not. Lying to get ahead in life will catch up to you, and the fall is rather less graceful. That too when the lie is documented.

What rank are you coming in at?

When I started at KPMG years ago I was asked to upload a copy of my AWS cert to a portal. I can’t imagine it would have gone over well if I didn’t actually have the cert. Maybe EY doesn’t require proof though.

I've just been asked to upload my PMP and AWS certifications by Accenture. So especially if relevant for the role they will ask eventually (my scheduler/talent specialist said it is needed for staffing on projects as some require certs)

Start cramming and schedule the exam as soon as possible.

Depends on the certification and how important it is to the job. In any case, I would let your recruiter know you mistakenly put the very on there assuming you would pass it.

Yea, they confirm the license number in success factor. They enter all your licenses in the system and learning admin team confirm them.

Did you also state you had it on your application? Wondering if you double down on your lie?

Just mention them XXX certification and you forgot about including (Training) at the end 😂
