It reminds me of a colleague of mine who was working for a large accountancy firm. The firm pays the Insitute membership fees of the employees. They were surprised to find no bill for my friend, and when they asked him about it, he muttered something about not actually having passed the finals. He had spoofed at the interview that he was qualified. He was fired immediately.
You might tell a white lie about your experience. Or you might omit a very short job from your CV. But you should not claim to have a specified qualification if you don't have it - especially after they specifically asked you about it.
I have a BSc and am in the process of compl? eting a BA (in year 4).
I stated on the application that I would be graduating in 2014.
One of the essential criteria was a BA in relevant field, or equivalent. (Technically I do not meet this criteria - I do not actually have a BA yet).
One of the shortlisting panel phoned me and asked if I had the degree given that I stated on the application that I would graduate in 2014. I told her that I had a BA, that the degree programme provided exit routes at cert, diploma and degree stage. This was not true - there is no option to exit and degree level in year 3 - you must complete the 2 year degree cycle.
Advice appreciated.
