Every fake line on your résumé is an interview question waiting to catch you.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Anything written on a page becomes a question somebody is entitled to ask. A claim you cannot back is a permanent trapdoor rather than a one-time risk, sitting there through every interview, every reference check, every moment somebody asks you to say more about it. You end up maintaining a version of yourself instead of being the one you are.

Go through yours and cut anything you could not talk about for two minutes. Then build the real line instead: one shift, one project, one small thing you actually did this month.
