Get Wise About Resume Lies
Earlier in the series, we covered the prevalence of lying on resumes, how to spot those lies, and tips for protecting your business from application deceit.
In the next America Back to Work expert interview (publishing tomorrow!), retired CIA intelligence officer, Carmen Amato, takes us deeper into the modern mechanics of lying and how employers can adapt to make consistent high-quality hires.
During her career in the CIA, Amato held positions of increasing responsibility in the areas of intelligence collection program management, strategic communications, and international partnerships. Recognized for multiple innovations leading to enhanced US intelligence capabilities, she is a recipient of both the National Intelligence Award and the Career Intelligence Medal.
Amato is interested in behavioral interview techniques and, as such, shares her top tips for spotting the behaviors and micromovements that signal a candidate is lying during an interview.
