First off, don't panic. I was thinking more along the lines of school, university etc and the qualifications you got. For example if you took math and wrote that you passed with an A, but actually scaped through with the lowest pass mark (E). Don't write "exams passed - maths grade A, english, grade B, etc". write that you passed Maths and English exams and leave it at that. If questioned in an interview why can't you do a simple sum, then tell your prospective employer that you only just passed the exam and it was a while ago. At least you haven't lied on the resume.

For example many years ago I took a combined Physics and Chemistry exam, it was the easy option rather than take two seperate exams. I passed the Physics with Chemistry paper, but I write it as passing two exams.

So you see it's a lie but one I can get away with. (Especially as the exams were 35 years ago!

Be honest, write a brief school and career to date on the board, what you fancy doing job wise,etc. There are many members that will look at it and offer advice. Everybody needs a bit of break now and then, don't be shy if you have nothing then say so. Of course we can't guarantee getting you 50K a year, or even a job! But as I said before every little helps.

Leaving off a job that isn't a good reference is okay but should it happen later on and make a gap in your work history, you will be asked to explain that gap in an interview, if they are worth their salt.

As for the made up one, if you are implying it is recent then they could ask you for a reference and you'd be in for more lying about it then.

Its just a very bad idea to lie. Really good companies can do background checks that turn up all kinds of things. Besides, it makes you a liar, whether they find out or not. And everyone who interviews you will know you are young and likely inexperienced just by looking at you. Much better to be yourself and find ways to make that appealing without resorting to lies. That way you will come across as resourceful without being dishonest, which is a much more valuable member of the team to prospective employers.

If you continue to go the lying route, its likely you will end up working for badly managed companies since the only ones who don't object to lying are liars themsleves. The world has a funny way of working like that lol. And there are plenty of companies out there like that too. I unfortunately worked for a few, brief as it was.

Just a few thoughts that I hope are helpful.

Why were you suspended?

I think when you have written your "truthful" resume. Get someone to read through it, preferably someone experienced with resumes. It may help if you have a summary at the end to have small phrases like "willing to learn", "always helpful", etc.

Good point Colb on someone with experience and truthful. Very important to be truthful.

Crybaby: The reason I asked what you were suspended for and ultimately fired for was to see if you could still use this on your resume if you could explain what happened.

If you noticed the date of the original question, my guess is that Crybaby9112001 has hopefully already landed a job somewhere.

what to say for an objective when doing my resume

spatzy

I think the fact that you don't have much experience is not the most important thing.When going to the interview try to impress them, make them feel you are the right person for them, try to give your best , think about your weak points and try to improve them.Your resume should look professional. And don't lie them.If you don't have any references it is also ok. Think of your strong points and write them down in your resume.
