The Assumption Clause

Should you lie on your resume? That was also a question I asked the men that taught me the game. Here are some of their answers:

  • How bad do you want the job?
  • If you lie, make sure someone will swear to it.
  • You don’t have to lie, just use the Assumption Clause.
  • I could not justify putting things on my resume that weren’t true. However, I wanted to know more about that Assumption Clause. It’s a great little tactic that men use in everyday situations, and they’ve perfected it in business. Women have been subjects of this maneuver many times. The conversation below shows how this strategy works.
