CV Blunders: When Your Resume Becomes a 'Résumé-stake'! 📄🙈

Hey there, job seekers and career climbers! 🚀 Buckle up for a tale that'll make you think twice about those 'little white lies' on your CV. It's time to get real about getting hiredNgọc Prinny style!


The Legal Lowdown: No Fibbing Allowed! ⚖️




#LaborLaw2019 #EmploymentRights

The 2019 Labor Code in Vietnam isn't just another boring legal document – it's a game-changer! Article 36, paragraph 1, point g is where the drama unfolds. Employers can now show you the door if they catch you playing fast and loose with the truth on your application. We're talking about a plot twist that could turn your career story into a tragedy! 😱

Here's the deal:

  • Providing false information about your qualifications? Big no-no!
  • Embellishing your work experience? That's a red flag!
  • Lying about your skills? You're skating on thin ice!

A Cautionary Tale: The CV That Cried Wolf 🐺

#TrueStory #WorkplaceWoes

Picture this: A hotshot applicant for a CFO position decides to 'embellish' their CV. They add a year here, a fancy title there, and conveniently forget to mention a few short-term gigs. Poof! 🎩✨ They land the job. But hold your applause, folks...

Our creative writer thought they were in the clear, living the high life in their corner office. Little did they know, their past was about to catch up with them faster than you can say "background check"!

The Legal Eagle Strikes 🦅

#LegalConsequences #EmploymentDispute

Fast forward to January 19, 2024. The Bac Ninh People's Court drops the gavel, and it's not in our creative writer's favor. The employer's decision to give them the boot? Upheld faster than you can say "You're fired!" 🔥

The court's verdict was clear: falsifying information on your CV that affects the hiring decision is grounds for termination. No golden parachute, no second chances – just a one-way ticket to Unemploymentville.

#CVTips #JobHunting

So, what can we learn from this cautionary tale? Here are some golden rules for the digital age job seeker:

  1. Keep it real, people! Your CV isn't a fiction bestseller. Stick to the facts, even if they're not as glamorous as you'd like.
  2. Don't round up your experience like it's a math problem. "Almost two years" doesn't equal two years. Precision matters!
  3. Those short gigs? They count too. Don't sweep them under the career rug. They might be the very experience that sets you apart!
  4. Pro tip: Add a note saying "More details available upon request." It's like a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card for your career! 🃏 This shows transparency and willingness to discuss your background in depth.
  5. When in doubt, leave it out – or better yet, ask a career counselor or legal advisor for guidance.

The Plot Thickens: Legal Grey Areas 🌫️

#LegalGap #EmploymentLaw

Here's the kicker: The law's still a bit fuzzy on what exactly counts as "affecting the hiring decision." It's like trying to nail jelly to a wall – tricky business! 🍮

  • Does a small date discrepancy count?
  • What about omitting a job you held for just a month?
  • How much embellishment is too much?

These are questions that lawmakers and courts are still grappling with. Until we get more clarity, it's best to err on the side of caution.

Remember, job seekers: In the grand chess game of careers, honesty isn't just the best policy – it's your knight in shining armor! ♟️✨ It might not always get you the job, but it'll help you sleep at night and keep you out of legal hot water.

So, before you hit 'send' on that spruced-up CV, ask yourself: "Is this résumé worth the risk?" Your future self (and your lawyer) will thank you! 🙏💼

In the end, your true qualifications, skills, and experiences are your best selling points. Polish them, showcase them, but never fabricate them. Your authentic self is your most valuable asset in the job market!
