Do employers care to check resume claims of "attended" college (15 yrs ago) but no degree? like an idiot, I embellished my education when it wasn't necessary, since I have the required equivalent experience.

Well...you ask if employers do this....that's a big group, isn't it? Can we really speak for all employers? I imagine that some do and some don't....but it's impossible to say if your employer will.

Yes, the interviewers I know check EVERYthing nowadays (I have helped people put together their resumes since 1985). Since jobs are scarce and prospects are legion, when there is an opening, employers want the best they can find.

Hired based on experience. Do most employers check for irrelevant college attendance?

Candidate based on experience. Do most employers care to verify if college was attended?
