My profession is in microbiology. My education is more in animal health. I am a dog and horse enthusiast and I once raised chickens.
Should I lie about my education?
I have decided to change careers because my work in microbiological R/D was absolutely unfulfilling. I am applying to a Dental Hygiene program by Jan, but I have not told any potentional employers about it. The hospitals have rejected all my applications because they only require a GED/HS diploma and I have not worked at a hospital or have documented phlebotomy exp. Medical offices have dumped my resume b/c I do not know their programs. I have no documented sales exp. I apply and apply with no good results. I am intelligent, friendly, likable, and easy on the eyes. Should I lie about my education or my experience to get a job? I hate to, but I am desperate for a job. Thanks for your opinions.
