So, the author doesn't even know how to answer their own question. This whole article is a waste.
How much are AMERICAN’S lying?!?
In the tech sector, a job req will receive 1000+ responses... mostly from India... of which, 850-900 of those named on the resumes have little to no experience in the field.
The bulk of the fraudulent resumes are coming from overseas.
Just the facts

I’d rather see journalists subjected to blockchain verification of their reporting...
Business can blame a lot of it on themselves. A new technology comes out and they put it out as needing 3 - 5 years experience. It isn’t even out for 1 year.
Blockchain is just a buzz word. Most people have no clue how it really works. It’s fairly easy to hack. $534 million of cryptocurrency based on blackchain technology was recently hacked in Japan. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23731633-500-cryptocurrency-hack-makes-off-with-500-million/ That hack did not even involve quantum computing, which is going to shatter blockchain technology. See https://finance.yahoo.com/news/commentary-technology-crack-blockchain-egg-195140449.html (Yes, I could hack most cryptocurrencies, but doing so would be immoral. I also don’t want to go to jail.)
When I was in the contract peogrammer game, I added a sheet to my resume which said “Technical Addendum”. I listed about 10 projects I had completed, using various code, in the various gigs I worked. I added a note to HR to “Pass this by the head of the department I will be working in. He can tell whether or not I am blowing smoke.”
Got a lot of positive responses, including one gig in a chemical plant with their “recipes” because I mentioned I worked on a Bill of Materials program.
Others said it saved them time as they answered questions they had.
So Blockcain is cheating by the HR department?
Silicon Valley:
I interviewed one Indian woman with a listing for “Electron Microscopy” —really impressive.
Inspired, I asked her about it. I was beaming.
“I borrowed that off of my friend’s resume”.
They’re NOT EVEN ASHAMED OF IT.
That was a real wowzer.
No wonder they don’t want to live among people like them.
My PhD is from the University of Zimbabwe.
Try to disprove that one!
‘So glad I’m gainfully retired.
It’s better to stretch the truth and gt the job then to be unemployed.
Resume exaggeration is a response to the fraud of HR staff posting job experience and skill requirements that no human being could have possibly acquired during a lifetime professional career, even for mundane job postings. Job applicants are only doing what they have to do to get a damn job so they can live a life.
That pretty much was my last resume to get a new job.
Blockchain is a solution in search of a problem.
Universities could post their degree recipients online today. Blockchain is unnecessary. It’s being hyped
