I was just called that I have a new job well the thing is I didn't graduate from highschool and they are?

Question

verifying my information. I was looking for a online accredited program to get a high diploma. I located a company that is with the BBB and registered with the state of texas asa home school program. Will the company accept this are should I not even bother..I really want this job and have been trying for 11 months to get on. I just didn't think they would call my highschool which they did. Is it too late...what should I do...

Answer 1

Yes, it's probably too late. Lying on a job application is never a good idea, and more and more employers are verifying your info so it's pretty likely you'll get caught.

A home schooling program won't help you unless you actually completed their program, and you can't get signed up and do that in a weekend. Completing a home schooling program would take about the same time as a regular high school program.

This job is probably gone. But either go back to school and finish, or get your GED, so you don't run into this in the future. It's getting harder and harder to get any job without a high school diploma or being in school working towards one.

Answer 2

You should tell your prospective employer that you didn't graduate and that you lied. It is wrong to lie when trying to get a new position because eventually the lie will catch up to you. Most employers now verify the background of a prospective employees to see if they are not thieves or wanted by the FBI. If your employer can't accept that you lie, then good luck at finding another place of employment.

Answer 3

I'm afraid you blew it. Falsifying your application is serious. If you lied now, how can they trust you to do your job and keep company proprietary information private. Good luck on your next application.

Answer 4

Go get your GED so you won't have to lie anymore! You do realize its a crime to lie on an application!
