hello ladies! i'm a recent grad struggling to land a full time position and a friend of mine (has been working for 4 years in corporate and switched 3 jobs) as well as others said that it's normal to lie on your resume. now, i'm not fully desperate in my job search so i don't want to be dishonest, but
1. what kind of things can you lie about on your resume?
2. can you lie about the time you've worked at a company? or is that something that'll cause trouble in a background check?

Do not lie, especially since you’re so early in your career… folks would probably see through it.

What are you trying to do FT? I’m also happy to look at your resume.

If you have friends who have FT jobs, ask them for referrals.

Feeling down. I've interviewed for probably 12 positions (mostly Senior Manager level), and always getting rejected. Is this normal? I do try and ask for feedback, and sometimes they give saying that there just isn't the right fit for your skillset at this time. If so, then why did you interview me? #frustrated

Last Tuesday, I had a partner interview with PwC Australia. Partner told me that I would receive a result until the end of previous week. But I haven’t received it yet. I emailed Responsible recruiter last Friday but the feedback was not available at that time. Today I decided to follow up again regarding interview result and she told me that she has received feedback and wanted to call me tomorrow. Does it mean that she will give reason for rejection? What should I expect from this call?
