If you exaggerate on a job application about your technology skills, consider this behavior from an ethical standpoint. What problems could this create after a company hires you?

i think they will go further into your skills and tell you to come in to have a meeting to discuss your skills and what you can do.After the company hires me i think they would keep and eye on me to see if i live up to my skills

The employers may give you a position where you're required to use the technology skills that you claimed to have had and they will realize that you do not posess the skills that you said you did.

If you exaggerate on a job application your more than likely to have problems when you get the job. This may cause problems for the company because you dont know the fundamentals of the job you where hired for and can cause the company trouble.

this will create alot of promblems because than they would be teaching you things and will soon find out that you never new what you said you could do which you said you was best at , you should be the best at not someone teaching you thats what they have training for, if you dont no you shouldnt pretend whats done in the dark will soon come to light

The company will expect you to live up to the things that you originally said you can do. If you don't exceed their expectations, you could lose your job.

That kind of attitude can create a lot of problems because when you get to the job and not know what you're doing and you're just wasting other people's time and taking up space that can be for somebody else. You also basically lied knowing you can't do that job, you just wanted it.

If you exaggerate on a job application it will create many problems for you in the future. Such as you being under trained and really having no knowledge on what your doing. It's also false exchange of information causing another person who really has the skills and potential for the workplace to miss out on the job opportunity.

Exaggerating your computer skills could cause a problem because that job will be looking and expecting for you to know how to complete those jobs that you said you could complete. If your sitting there not knowing what to do then most likely they will see that you have no clue what to do and you could get fired and have a bad rep with that company

The employers may give you a position where you're required to use the technology skills and you should already have learned the basic computer skills. If you lie and over exaggerate on a job or how experienced you are they will think your more more experienced or qualified than you actually are, so when its time to get down to it and get the job done your going to have technical difficulties.

over exaggerating on a job application may get you the job, but you will certainly have difficulty in keeping that job since you do not have the skills or requirements for the job. It is also wrong and a waste of time because someone who is qualified for the job can't get it because of you, and you will more than likely be fired for your lackluster performance.

when you fill outan job application and you puth things up there that you really dont know how to. If they see you know how to do it then they say can i see you do this and then you cant show then you are going to feel bad about yourself.

Exaggerating your skills is false advertisement. The job will expect you to do what you listed on your application as a skill. They would probably fire you if you come to work and do not have the abilitty to work.

Problems you would cause if you exaggerate on a application, you really just lying about what you are capable of offering the company that is considering hiring you . You would be waisting the company time because you're not capable of doing what that company is looking for. Also now they have to go look for someone else who didn"t and is capable of getting the job done.

Doing this can create a bunch of problems because once you get hired, your employers are going to expect you to do the things you stated you could.

If you exagerate on a job application it will deffenely affect you, because you are putting down on the applications skills that you dont even have and when they call you in to start working they will notice that you'r not doing what they are asking for and you'll end up fired. And they will hire another person who really is capable of doing what the company is asking for.

If your job application is exaggerated, then you're basically lying about your past job experiences.

If you exagerate on a job application about your technology skills, then you will have problems once you get the job. You won't be able to do certain things because you really don't have the technology skills that were required.
