Definition
A design engineer with twelve years of aerospace experience who, after being laid off and failing to find work in his specialty, devised a resume that downplayed his technical design expertise and disproportionately emphasized minor managerial and administrative experience in order to obtain a management-track position, raising obligations of honesty and accurate self-representation under professional codes.
