Hi all,

Let's say I can speak Hakka and Hokkien fluently, can I include these 2 languages into my resume as my language skills? Thanks.

Hi there.

Let's say your official job title at your company is 'Sales Executive', but the work that you do is better known as 'Business Development Executive'.

NOTE: I'm not talking about amending hierarchy but rather functional title (e.g. Executive --> Executive; NOT Executive --> Snr. Manager).

Is it unethical/deceptive/illegal to amend job title on resume to better reflect the type of work you actually do (so that it paints a better picture and hence more relevant experience/keyword for the HR in your job hunt)? Would it negatively affect employment background check?

Would appreciate experienced HR thoughts on this. Thanks!
