Greetings,
First and foremost, you have paid up for what you did wrong. Please don't count the ones, who have been using fake experience. Here my experience what I would share, hope this helps you to decide for your self.
We had a VP Operation in one of the firms I worked with who was fired when we had a background verification audit for the existing employees. I am sure the friends whom you have mentioned would climbed up the ladder, and then imagine to be flashed with something like this and losing the entire career to it. Would you want to find yourself in such a condition?
I have managed back ground verification. I know how it works. When the complete process is followed every gap and fake information flashes out. Your friends can fool one process in one company but not everywhere . Take my words, it would show up .
Apart from Background verification, I guess its a personal responsibility to share what is true about you. Why do you think so many people lost their jobs when the market was down? Don't you think we could have saved our work had we been honest about it and claimed the salary and the position we deserve. Faking to get ahead is not a short-term strategy but the most risky one.
Please be happy for your self as you have a chance to start afresh with honesty. Now when you will build your career , you wont stand any threat as fickle as this. Please stay honest about your profile , thats the best thing you can do to save your work.
Write an honest resume and get hired for what you know. The technical rounds would reflect your knowledge in Technology. You must have worked hard and managed projects. So remain fearless.
Wish you all the best !

Hello honestbutfakeexp,
Nice to meet you in this forum.I also faked my experience many times in my career.But I had my own justification for faking experience.In one of my previous company(A well known multinational) I had a senior level colleague.Still I don't know ,on what basis he got senior level position in that famous company !!!I strongly feel that he might have some good relation with some of the top management people!!!He was not able to manage the work and most of the time he approached me to find solutions for the problems.That time I realised that there was not much difference between me and my senior!!!Then I started faking my experience to fill the gaps in my career so that I can increase the number of years after my graduation.To be frank,most of the HR Managers also focusing on that magical 'numbers' only...Most of the time I succeeded and few times caught.I never bothered about the times I have been caught.Because, it was negligible compared to my successful attempts...However, I succeeded in my career and worked with well known as well as third rate companies.As long as you are a performer and have enough skill and indepth knowledge in your industry/domain ,you can fake your experience and nothing gonna happen.Wish you good luck in your future endeavours.

Hi,
I m agree with Mr. fake as well as Mr. Alwar also It's not always you'll get caught see if you want to become something in your life start taking risks & Also if you'll check the past status of big shot people you'll find many people have come up by doing Unethical things.
Receipe of Sucess is Honesty + little unethical activities = Name,fame,money&every thng u are dreaming abt.

Obviously,No one is perfect by any measure. Look at this crazy job market and all the people that have lost good jobs. It is the driving force behind people doing unethical acts. I believe that honesty is the best policy. You could starve with this point of view intact these days. It is a different world. Just ask the many millions who are unemployed from all industries. I am quite sure that half the IT Industry is packed with "fakes" and plenty of exaggerated jobs people claimed that they completed. What are we going to do about it, put a "WatchDog" group in to do fact checks on everyone's previous employment. Who would fund such a task? No one. Faking has been going on for decades and it is nothing new. If you look at the impossible job requirements out here right now that are not being filled. Why? Because Superman or Superwoman doesn't exist. If you get a good job now you are working for 3 people. So where is the fine line? It is unethical all the way around. The Employer is the culprit. He has the last word and the first one too. If he wants to hire a bunch of fakes he does. So long as he is getting paid via contract and you are performing he doesn't care. At the end of the day, you have to look in the mirror and be satisfied with the decision you make. If you feel justified by your misdeeds that is up to you. Honesty is the best policy because it will eventually catch up to you in some form or another. You might call it bad luck or something. Good luck.

To Counter the problem of fake Cvs we need to get every prospective employee to have a unique identification Number that will shortly be issued by Government under the Aadhaar scheme.Quoting of the Unique identity Number and PAN number shall be mandatory on every resume,even the resume of a fresher to enable tracking of personal profile.Industry has to support this initiative as it will be beneficial in the long run in profiling Job applicants with dubious pasts.Regarding fake claims, put a prospective recruit through a rigorous subject test and if he excels,i think you should have minimal problems.Regarding Fake CVs the company can only do that much it is upto each individuals Conscience.Misrepresentation has a habit of catching up.The problem of fake Cvs is a social problem as we have instilled the habit of lying for small things in society and in our social relationships.Unless the small lies are eliminated or minimised this problem of fake CVs is bound to continue.

Hi Shaikh, Your absolutely right, and i also feel that when a person fakes about himself the first thing he loses is SELF RESPECT. Good times come late but wait with honesty. Regards Anand
