Discussion 1

 

Discuss whether you think the following scenario is ethical or not?  Please answer the following 3 questions in your original response.  Following the original response, you may respond to other classmates (please see the rubric for grading discussions.

You are a recent graduate of one of the programs in College of Computer SE, but you are having trouble getting a job.  You actually prepared a very professional resume and have placed it on several Web Sites, and directly to several company HR sites in your city.  You haven't gotten any responses from your resumes.  You know that one of your shortcomings is that you have no real job experience.  You are considering beefing up your resume by exaggerating the extent to which your capstone project was work experience.  The project was actually a small project for a local web development company.  You could reword your resume to make it sound like you were actually working for the company, and that your responsibilities were actually greater than they were.

Questions:

1.  Do you see any ethical problem here - if so what is it?

2.  Do you see any illegal problem here?

3.  Do you think that this really isn't a problem, and that it should help you get a job.
