...stop working for the Afghan government. Qasim had lied to his neighbors, telling them that he worked as a tailor--not at a police station 10 miles away. Then the second letter arrived. "Once this government falls, we will be in power. We will have your documents, your r??sumés, your names and your addresses. We will come and punish you," it read. Now Qasim doubts that he can keep his job, which pays about $40 a month, not a lot by Afghan standards but enough to dream about giving his two sons opportunities he never...
...their word, throwing massive amounts of time and effort into clubs, teams, and publications. Lewis can’t decide if the prominence of extracurricular life is good or bad. He cedes that extracurriculars teach important skills, but worries that competition-driven undergrads are only adding to their r??©sumés. For my part, I don’t think it’s competition that drives our extracurricular obsessions; I think it’s self-reliance. Emerson argues that we should be judged by the work we do. He warns us against impersonal, distant causes that...
...fast? One reason is the revival of the opposition Tories under their dynamic young leader, David Cameron. Another is a spate of recent government scandals, from undignified sexual shenanigans to more serious issues of misjudgment, recalling the venality and incompetence that dogged the dying days of the ancien Tory r??gime in the mid-1990s.

...Swanson's tale to this year's ledger of fakery and its fallout. RadioShack CEO David Edmondson resigned over a tarted-up r??sumé. Harvard sophomore Kaavya Viswanathan has been roasted for her cribbed chick-lit novel. But Raytheon is a major government contractor that sells missiles, not stereos, and Swanson is a big boss, not a teenage undergrad. Still, he insists it all began with an innocent mix-up. Swanson asked staff members to compile a presentation from materials he kept in a file. It was such a hit that he and his staff collected 33 "rules...
...markets its ability to provide ongoing employee screening through automated criminal checks. With this increased vigilance comes a thorny new dilemma: figuring out whether every fib is really a fireable offense. Many bosses feel that a worker's track record on the job speaks more strongly than a stretched r??sumé, says John Challenger of the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Rather than booting talented workers, Challenger suggests, employers should offer an amnesty period. "A moratorium would let anyone who needs to come clean," he says. And the culprit could always go back to school and finish that degree--maybe...
