This just in from the Pink Slipped Statistical Measurement Laboratory:   &lt;p&gt;We asked subscribers to tell us honestly: Have you ever lied on your resume?  And while the majority of you (61%) are still honest to the core -- at least when it comes to resumes -- some may have to review their religion-of-choice&#39;s take on speaking untruths.  One in eight admitted they outright lied or &quot;adjusted&quot; certain items to smooth over some obvious red flags.  But twice as many (25% of the sample) said they &quot;exaggerated&quot; their credentials, and didn&#39;t seem to really count this as deceit.&lt;p&gt;What do you think:  Is resume embellishment a &quot;stand alone&quot; act, or does it expose a person&#39;s broader &quot;cheater&quot; mentality?  Is it because our ridiculously hyper-competitive (and now ultra-stressed) society demands drastic measures to get ahead?  Throw in your two cents -- we need it, in these hard times.    &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Todd Obolsky, Vault Staff Writer&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;
