My roommate lied on her resume!?

My roommate is crazy. She flunked out of school and blamed her roommates. She copies everything I do. She came to school an education major and now she wants to work in fashion PR just like me. She has never had a job before (not even babysitting!) and she just got offered a job at a HUGE fashion company in NY. We found out she lied on her resume, saying she has had tons of experience and is a model but she isn't. It makes me so mad because I've worked so hard for my internships, and there were probably hundreds of more deserving people who wanted that internship.
My other roommate wants to contact the company and tell them to check her references. Is this OK, or should we let it go?

She actually had an phone interview and already accepted the job. I think its actually legit. The things she put on her resume were really impressive, so it would make sense that she got the job if they were real. But she has a 1.4 GPA, she's a spoiled ***** who gets everything she's ever wanted, even though she is an evil person. I'm afraid they will never catch on and she will be really successful.

First, if she told you she got the job she is probably lying. Second, you should just wait for her to fail and get fired. Then you can apply for the open position.

I hate dishonest people...
Call the company and ask if she is employed there...
If she is...suggest that they check out her resume
more closely because it is fraudulent...

I have a Niece in NYC that owns a Fashion/Modeling agency.

id call and warn them. my roommate also lied on his resume and his work ethic really showed. too bad im his boss and cant fire him!!! good luck and always look out for yourself

Just because she was offered a job doesn't mean she'll get that job. There'll be an interview. If she can pull through, as in actually do the work the company is looking for, then good for her. If not, she'll just be back to where she started.

A lot of people tell the wrong thing, it's not fair.
My roommates used to lie, smoke, cheat and steal, but there not always bad people, you know.

When you work in fashion houses, they sweat a lot and lie all the time. Try not to, but know that it exists.

Burn the witch!

Karma is an ideal, not a force of nature. You must seek to restore balance. Destroy those whom would cheat and steal...


then again, maybe the adult thing would be to be happy for her, be nice to her and have her help you get a job there, meet her connections etc.

Life can be whatever you choose.
