Applied to
Doe's resume misrepresentation of managerial experience scope
Balancing with
Intentional Deception Versus Inadvertent Inaccuracy Distinction in Professional Misrepresentation
Concrete expression
Both elements of the dual-element test are satisfied in Doe's case: (1) the balance of managerial versus technical experience is a pertinent fact — clearly and decisively relevant — to a prospective employer's decision to hire for a management role; and (2) Doe acted with deliberate intent and purpose to enhance his apparent qualifications by suppressing his technical identity and inflating his managerial profile
Confidence
0.91
Importance
high
Interpretation
The dual-element test confirms the ethical violation: the misrepresented information (managerial experience level) was pertinent to the employer's hiring decision, and Doe's deliberate 'devising' of the new resume establishes the requisite intent and purpose to enhance his apparent qualifications
Invoked by
John Doe Resume Misrepresenting Job-Seeking Engineer
Tension resolution
Both elements are clearly present; the intentionality element is established by the deliberate redesign strategy, and the pertinence element is established by the fact that managerial experience was the decisive qualification criterion for the positions sought
Source Evidence
Source text
After being turned down repeatedly for technical managerial or administrative positions because his resume showed a lack of such experience, he devised a new resume which played down his technical design experience and expertise and emphasized his minor managerial and administrative function in his former employment as an important responsibility.
