I put some fake experiences on my resume to get a job. Out of the different companies I stated on my resume that I worked for only 2 was true. The job required a senior level person who I put my real two projects and few other Made up ones. I did good on the interview and started working for the company. I worked for company for 2 years. Now the company wants me do a top secret clearance. What should I do? If I am truthful on the SF-86 and if the SF-86 requires for me to submit a resume I submit a resume with my real experience and take out anything that was fake. Will I still get caught that I lied originally? Because in the company website I have written 11 years of experience. Will they cross reference my SF-86 to my company website experience stated?
For sf86 you are required to account for every moment of your life for the past 7 years. That includes listing supervisors and their contact info for every job you listed. You have 3 choices:
- You can come clean on the sf86 and hope your company doesn’t notice or mind
- you can continue listing the fake jobs on your SF86. The BI WILL find out and confront you with it.
- Cancel your clearance request.
The BI won’t cross reference your resume. I’d start there. Update resume with company. On the SF86 list all real jobs. The thing is though…can the government trust you to not lie? Your company cannot. But you need start clean living now and stick to it.
Not true. I review resumes all the time. Not on every case, but it’s very common.
