I was deeply shocked by a recent survey that suggested 30 per cent of job applicants embellished the truth or lied on a curriculum vitae. Can the figure really be that low? I had always assumed CVs were riddled with evasions, half-truths and downright whoppers. As a cynic, the news that 70 per cent of workers are scrupulously honest has shaken my lack of faith in my fellow humans. The only consolation is that people often fib in anonymous surveys, just as they do on résumés, which means the real proportion may be higher。
最近一项调查显示,有30%的求职者在简历中美化事实或者造假,这让我深感震惊。这一数字真的可能这样低吗?我向来认定,简历中充斥着遁辞、半真半假的事实和彻头彻尾的谎话。作为一名怀疑论者,这则70%的员工都谨严正直的消息,动摇了我对人类的信心缺失。唯一能让我聊以自慰的是,人们通常在匿名调查中扯些小谎,就像他们在简历中那样,而这意味着,真实的比例可能会更高。
One prediction rang true from the research by the Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors. It was that the incentive for mendacity is growing, as unemployment balloons and competition for jobs rises. In coming months recruiters will therefore be bombarded with CVs making claims more misleading than the kind that got Corpus Christi college disqualified from the BBC’s University Challenge。
