Those Resume Lies!

Rule no. 1: Never lie about your skills on your resume! Rule no. 2: Even if there's no other way but to lie, never lie about Excel skills! MS Excel, as you know, is a critical skill for most administrative roles. It isn't like MS Word or PowerPoint, and Excel requires you to have minimum math skills to get close to learning it. If you aren't particularly poor at math, you can learn Excel within a week or two by looking at some tutorials on YouTube.
