Exaggerating a resume is nothing new. But even as the technology for checking the background of applicants improves, the likelihood of getting a straight answer diminishes. The reason? A litigious society has in essence terrorized employers into giving the bare minimum of information about past employees. That means while the earnest job hopeful sitting across from you may be a former company VP--or the worst sort of slacker--name and hire dates are all you're likely to get from a previous employer. What does it all mean? Read this week's cover story on page 13 (and whether you're looking to hire or looking for work, don't forget to show up at the upcoming job fair in March at the DoubleTree, co-sponsored by CW, EDD, Pro*File and Goodwill).
Read all about it!
