Also keep in mind that if you are hired on the basis of a less than accurate resume and your employer discovers it when you're asked to use some non-existent skill(s), there's a good chance security will be escorting you to the front door real fast.

At some point, you will have to defend your resume. At that point, you must prove that you have the knowledge that you claim to have. That's easy to do when you have a honest and truthful resume.
This type of recruiting tactic is shameful. Obviously, the recruiter needs to make a sale. Don't fall for it.

Subject: What would you do?
I have been corresponding with a recruiting firm about a possible job as a SharePoint administrator, and they asked me to change my resume. The job description includes some things that I have never worked with, such as Infopath. The recruiter asked me to edit my resume to show experience with about half a dozen things I've never done, to match things in the description, and email him that new version.
I won't say what I've done or not done - I'm interested in your thoughts about it.
