    If I did not get an Honour Bachelor's Degree and I wrote Honour Bachelor's Degree in MY resume, WILL the company find[s] the real degree?

    Will they catch you for lying?  You bet they will.  Your grammar alone will prove you didn't graduate with honors.  You'll be out on your derriere, and just try to get a decent job after that.

    If you did really write "Honour Bachelor's Degree" they will already have turned you down, because that is not what the degree is called.

    In any case - and I'm not saying this to be unkind - your English is too poor for them to believe you anyway. I'm sorry but that's the case.

    Lying about your qualifications or education on a resume can get you fired when it's found out. DON'T LIE. Your "honors" don't really mean anything to any employers. They only care if you got the degree you said you did. It's definitely not worth being dismissed over.

    Somebody tried that where I worked - we had to submit a list of everyone's qualifications for a tender and had to be sure it was accurate. When we contacted the college they were emphatic about the fact that he had only received a pass degree. The guy left immediately it came to light - but he would have been dismissed for what used to be called obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception, not something you would want on your employment record.

    Are you really that stupid? Your actual records can be accessed by any company that wants to hire you. Wanna know a quick way to fck up getting a job? Lie to your potential employer.

    They will if they ask you to provide proof of your qualifications when they hire you. People are sometimes found out many years into a job and then lose it where the qualifications are important to doing a job or a persons integrity is important.

    If it's a field where there's a lot of competition for the job, assume that a company will do a background check.  That could include a transcript from your institution.  Besides, your work experience and how you do in an interview matters much more.  A good interview or work history with an ordinary degree is far better than a lackluster interview or history and superior degree.
