Facing Consequences of Fake Experience: How Can I Clean Up My Professional Profile?

Hi, I joined Y company with a fake experience of 1 year from X company. I then moved to Z company, but Z company discovered that the experience from X company was falsified. As a result, Z company provided a relieving letter with background verification details, leading to the loss of 1 year plus 6 months with Z company. Now, I want to remove this fake experience from my profile. Please help me.

Another case of misrepresentation and false experience on this forum. I don't know when people will learn...

Steps to Correct Your Resume

Anyway, what you can do is the following:

1. Build your resume by excluding company X, but mention company Y since you genuinely worked with them.

2. Humbly request company Z to re-issue a certificate mentioning only Company Z's experience, since this will affect your career.

3. You can then show company Y and company Z's experience.

Don't ever resort to malpractices and fudging of experience. Large organization senior managers have lost their jobs for forging experience. It's a black mark on anyone's career. I hope you and everyone else on this forum learn from this.

The Impact of Fake Experience on Reputation

Fake experience has tarnished the reputation of Indians across the world. Our country, unfortunately, ranks very high for this infamous skill.

As suggested by Balaji, indicate your experience at Z in your CV and be brave and strong to submit the relieving letter for prospective opportunities. Companies do not generally indulge in tarnishing first-time offenders. Since you are fresh in your career, talk to them to issue separate letters if they insist on highlighting the fake experience. But be sure to admit your mistake in case you face it again and again later on. The mistake loses its significance if you realize and stick to ethical practices from now on.

Concerns About Background Verification

What amazes me (other than the act you've committed of forging experience) is that this "Z" company took 6 months to figure out your fake experience with X company. Considering this is a part of pre-hire initiatives, it should have been checked before you joined or a maximum of 1 month after. This is more an area of concern. Companies should probably ensure better care in this area going forward. They put themselves in jeopardy in this manner, and given the large proportion of cases of this nature, it's worse.

Cheers...nice suggestion by Balaji. Do that...should be fine. All the best!

Concerns about forum discussions

Is this forum intended for obtaining information about HR activities or for supporting fake or fraudulent activities to escape from reality? I strongly disagree with engaging in such behavior. As an HR professional, it is not appropriate to provide opportunities or guidance on how to be genuine while using fake details.

Observing multiple threads discussing topics like "escaping from the law" or "maintaining authenticity with false information" is concerning. Supporting such actions is akin to aiding criminals in evading punishment. This is my personal opinion, and I leave it to senior members to determine whether I am right or wrong.
