'Recession brings pressure' to lie on sales jobs CVs

People applying for sales jobs should ensure that they do not lie on their CV, as it can lead to them losing their position.

The recession may mean many people applying for sales jobs could be tempted to lie on their CV as there is increased pressure, Alexandra Kelly, managing director of Powerchex, told CityAM.

She added: "The pressure of the recession job market seems to have led more applicants to believe they should lie or make embellished claims to get jobs."

However, the source cited the case of hotel executive Patrick Imbardelli who was forced to resign from his position immediately before joining the board.

He had lied on his CV, saying he had two degree qualifications which he did not have, having only attended a few classes at the university he claimed he had a certificate from.

CityAM stated: "He left the industry after 25 years, his reputation in tatters."

This view was backed up by Chris Cater, deputy founder of the Graduate Recruitment Bureau, recently, who said that lying on CVs when applying for sales jobs is a "waste of time".
