In Reply To: THIS STATEMENT IS QUITE TRUE. Recruiters do check with your institution to see whether or not you have a degree in what you say or not. Your best bet is that, you dont try your luck with lying in this area.
Message: My employer did a very thorough background check on my jobs I previously held and the college degree as well. My degree comes from overseas, which did not stop them from checking - they called the university I went to. So, don't lie, it's not worth it.
