why would you lie? If you did work there, you would include it on your resume, give the info that the company went out of business, etc, no contact number. It is a legitimate job history, which they can check on. Companies change all of the time, employers have seen this before.

It depends on the industry. I work in the Insurance industry and everyone seems to know everyone. You should be concerned that someone you worked with at a previous employer is now with the company you are interviewing with. If you say you were the salesman of the year 2 years in a row...there might be poeple that will know the truth and will end your interview process prematurely.
You definitley do not want to say that you have experience with something that you do not. You will end up in a job and will be expected to perform tasks that you are not familiar with. Most companies start people out on a probationary period for this reason.
It is also known that 85% of all resumes have falisfied information on them. Companies are aware of this and do everything they can to check into it. Be Careful and good luck in your search.

The penalty for being caught lying is worse than the reason you originally lied about.
In business, you will lose your professional integrity. This will follow you around. Don't do it.

NO! Because when it comes down to it and you're asked to do the same task(s), you'd better know your stuff.
