The possibility of being caught lying on a resume is enough of an incentive to be truthful on applications and resumes, a university professor said.

John Thompson, executive director of career services, said that he has not encountered students embellishing resumes because of the current economic times and has not heard of employers catching students falsifying their educational or work experience.
