What are the things one can get away with lying about? I imagine there are things the employers normally do check.
perspective:
The only people who actually check your education are governments and universities/schools.
Big companies will only verify that you worked there, what time period, and what your title was. They usually avoid making any qualitative statements to avoid exposing themselves to lawsuits. Hell, my current employer uses a third party service so no one who knows anything about whether or not I was a good worker will even interact with a new employer.
So, if you just barely squeaked out a degree it’s the same as if you graduated with honors. Dropped out of highschool? No you didn’t. Got fired for organizing a union? No, you just wanted to move on to something more challenging.
