Just noticed I accidentally lied on my resume. It says I have a year more experience in my role than I do…No wonder my interviews are going so well. Not sure what to do here.

The resume gets you the interview, doesn’t mean you will do well in it! I’d say that’s a good sign you have the skillset they’re looking for.

Yeah I’m just gonna BS through it haha

I wouldn’t worry about it and just carry on. If you get asked how many years of experience you have (highly unlikely), answer truthfully. Good luck!

I agree with the above comment, and you can always change your resume for any future stuff you apply. As long as it's like an extra year and not 10 years, you should be good lol

It was an accident and I wouldn't worry too much about it. If they do a background check or something and bring it up just say it was an accident. It probably won't be a big deal.

I think by that point, I’d have the job too

As long as they don't bring it up, you should be fine. Good look! I hope you get a great offer.

Try not to look too far into it - I've had typos on my resume before, too. You don't necessarily have to bring it up but you can clarify if and when they ask about your years of experience.

How many years in total do you have? One year may or may not seem like a huge difference.

One 😂

Don't worry about it– easily an honest mistake, if you ask me. Besides, companies would normally raise questions if they have concerns about it and ask you to clarify. You don't have to do anything about it.

No one is looking at your resume that closely, keep crushing your interviews!

Don’t go out of your way to lie. You’re fine with this one because it was a genuine mistake.

A year difference isn;t going to make that much of an impact later down the road. You should be fine honestly

It's not that big of a deal if it's only a one-year difference. But if their expectations of you are larger than what you can properly handle, then that's going to be a problem. otherwise you;re fine

What happened with the lie on your resume? Did you get caught
