A candidate may have a one-year break after leaving a job due to personal reasons or not securing a job with better prospects after the previous one. However, companies are not considering individuals with employment gaps, leading some candidates to resort to creating fake certificates to cover the break. If companies shift their approach when screening resumes to focus on a candidate's potential rather than solely on their gaps, this issue could be alleviated.
Furthermore, candidates should realize that resorting to unethical practices, such as presenting fake certificates, will not benefit them in the long term. Instead, they should be transparent about the genuine reasons behind their employment gap. By doing so, they can receive what they rightfully deserve and work without guilt.

If a person joins another company by showing fake experience in the HR sector, but he has experience in the marketing sector and doesn't want to disclose his marketing experience, in the new organization they will definitely ask for his PF (Provident Fund) number. If he doesn't provide it, what will happen? Will they issue a new PF number?

Dear Mahesh,
Apologies in advance! I am amused at your writing skills. You seem to be habituated with casual chat writing skills, akin to Facebook, Orkut, and mobile texting habits. It's a struggle to understand your query!

Hi Sowmya
You presented a practical scenario and wishful solution.
According to me, any sane HR who sees credible ability in the candidate through his previous work experience and qualifications, will accept a sensible reason for gaps in the employment. When candidate pass such question with ambiguous reasons such as “Personal Reasons” and further does not justify such gaps then they become likely for rejections.
I have come across justified explanations under “Personal Reasons”
Family Relocation with details such as : Husband/wife transferred, married into another city, conscious decision to migrate to another city for better prospects. Etc. HRs must show empathy as per their intelligence to understand the candidate’s situation.
Gaps in employment also provides an opportunity to gauge candidate’s mindset to see how he/she used their time to upgrade their knowledge, seek a job or were just yankee-doodling their leisure time and now bored so seeking jobs.
Under any justification, faking experience is not an ethical suggestion. If an HR is not buying one’s reason for gaps or job change, then either one is not selling well or there is negative issues. Inspite of honest effort if HR is still not buying, then those firms are better let off. Candidate can always demand reason for rejection from HRs. It’s allowed by law in US I don’t know about India ?

Dear Sir,
Work experience should be mentioned truthfully. Organizations generally check your previous employment and service. In such cases, if proven false, they won't consider your candidature. If they offer employment and it is later found to be false, they will terminate your employment. Therefore, always be truthful.
