In Criminal by Greensboro Attorney

The short version

Lying on a resume can have a number of ramifications. However, our lawyer reports that there’s been a recent case where a woman lied on her resume and is not facing a minimum of one year in jail.

According to our Greensboro lawyer, the 46-year-old woman applied for a Chief Information Officer role with a big company. She apparently lied about her education and prior employment history. Our lawyer reports that she also posed as a former employer and gave her a glowing recommendation.

The court didn’t take too kindly to this situation and she pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years in prison with a minimum 1 year to be served in prison.
