I recently found out that my dad got an offer for a System Administrator position at a mid-size MSP in Toronto, Canada. However, there's a big issue: he lied on his résumé about his current job title. He has been working as a machine operator at a factory, but he claimed to be an IT coordinator for several years. While his education and certifications are legitimate, the discrepancy in his job title could be a problem during the background check process. He managed to pass two interviews and received the offer last week, but the company wants to run a background check through Sterling. His references should be fine since he informed them about the lie beforehand, but I'm worried that the HR department at his current job will have a different title on file, which could raise red flags. I'm really concerned about how thorough the Sterling background check will be. Will they catch the lie? If they do, could that lead to an automatic firing from the new job? Should he rescind his acceptance to avoid potential financial trouble for our family? If he quits his current job and the background check fails, we could be in a dire situation. Given the physical toll factory work has on him, I understand why he felt compelled to exaggerate his experience, but I need to know what the best course of action is for him right now.
