The survey also revealed that 55% of us have already lied on a résumé at least once in their life which, according to StudyFinds, means up to 42.5 million people may have lied to get a new job in 2022 alone!

Although more men admit to lying their way into a new job at 59.9%, over half the women surveyed (50.6%) said the same!
