Lying on resume- downplaying your credentials
Hear me out.
I am a nurse with decent years of experience. However I want to change my career to nuc med tech. Yes I know there is nuc med nurse, but I cannot find any positions around me.
The school I am applying for is competitive, and in order for me to increase my chances I need experience in radiology, and they only accept job experiences like patient transporter in radiology or imaging assistant … which I am overqualified for.
However I am trying to get a job as a patient transporter.
Obviously I can’t lie about my degree since that can be checked. But could I list my experiences as a patient transporter or CNA adjacent and get away with it? I do have an active nursing license but I don’t have to disclose my license number on my resume.
Not a troll, asking for a friend. Just tired of nursing.
