My partner's dad lied on his resume long ago and held that job for years before anyone checked.
The reason he lied was because he knew he could do the job because he had enormous experience (I'm not sure what it was something related to agriculture and he had grown up farming) but the job required a degree. He did the job well.
He is an argumentative person though and I guess he finally pissed off the wrong guy who finally looked into his background and got him fired.
I guess some businesses and industries check more than others. Where I worked, you had to submit your transcripts, plus they did background checks for criminal records.
Why the fuck would they fire somebody who did the job well for years?
You piss off the wrong person, it doesn't matter how good you are at your job. I can also say from personal experience, he is not an easy person to get along with.
