Job seekers lie on resume about hobbies: Study

It is not uncommon for people to lie on a resume, including exaggerating language skills and experience. However, the public is now lying about hobbies, a new study revealed.

The language learning app Babbel conducted a study of over 1,000 people and found 14% admitted to lying on their resume about hobbies and interests they do not actually have. The company did the same study in the United Kingdom and found 13% of the 1,000 applicants lied about their hobbies and interests, according to the U.K. outlet Metro. The study was published in January.
