Do job candidates tend to stretch the truth on their resumes or at job interviews? Resume fibbing is not a rare occurrence, unfortunately, and some people actually think it's okay to fib, so employers need to be a bit vigilant in conducting background checks of candidates. Not screening an employee can cost the company one to three times that employee's annual salary.

A recent ADP Backcheck poll found that one out of three people knows someone who has fibbed on their resume. Experts generally advise not to exaggerate your abilities in a language, stretch the dates that you held jobs, lie about skills and credentials, or overstate your salary.

Here are the top ten things most fibbed about in a job interview.

1. Salary of previous job.
2. Grades or qualifications
3. Years of relevant experience
4. Reasons for leaving previous jobs
5. Commitment to career
6. Hobbies and interests
7. General skills
8. Responsibilities in previous jobs
9. Job titles in previous roles
10. Marital status

The reason given for lying about previous salary include wanting to receive a significant salary increase in the new role. And for lying about grades or qualifications, to impress the interviewer.

Do share your experiences with job candidates. What's the most outrageous fib you have encountered?
