Lying But Got Interview (Barclays)

Hey all, I recently lied about working at CIBC/BMO in investment banking as an intern. But with that on my resume, I got a r1 with Barclays.

Should I tell my interviewers? I will definitely sound convincing because I had one of my banking buddies coach me.

I mean if he says he’s ex-Mining at BMO and had no part to play in the homophobic events, he might be viewed as an ethical and corporate social responsibility leaning candidate & augment his chances even more

 

If true, you are fucked. Background checks are actually done and banks communicate with each other, you can't straight up lie about internships or jobs. Chances of a rescinded offer are 100%, know some folks who had it happen to them for our firm. It's just very stupid to do.

 

I can't wait to hear how this turns out - maybe you'll make a movie about it.  Lying could definitely get you tripped up, I'd postulate, but it's definitely entertaining.
