Declaration in resumes
« on: February 20, 2014, 08:07:52 PM »
I do not know if this is the right forum to ask this question but I hope you will share your insight for this one: Is it necessary to put  at the tail end of a resume the declaration:

"I hereby certify that the above information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief."

The language of that statement smacks of legalese, and no level-minded job-seeker really would speak or write that way, but it serves the purpose of making the job application a sworn statement. That, of course, warms the cockles of legal-minded recruiters and personnel officers, who need some form of assurance that the applicant at least isn 't making blatant lies in his or her curriculum vitae.
