In BER Case No. 72-11, the Board considered a case involving engineer John Doe who had been employed as a design engineer in an aerospace company for 12 years.
In deciding that Doe was not in violation of the code for rewriting his employment resume to emphasize his managerial and administrative experience... the Board noted...
