THE HAUNTING : Melania Trump’s Bio, Fibbing is not worth it
Your resume will get checked, even if you’re not a future First Lady
Most employers have caught a lie on a resume, and the most one is embellishing a skill set. Guess that doesn’t stop just for a JOB, but as the wife of a US Presidential Nominee, she’s been facing unfamiliar levels of scrutiny.
Questions about Melania Trump’s bio suggest fibbing is not worth it
She is no stranger to the spotlight, as a former model who graced the covers of Vogue and GQ,. She was far less visible than other family members excepting for her occasional appearance at Mr. Trump’s rallies and few TV interviews. Since Mr. Trump’s announced his running for the president, she has been constantly dogged by questions for several months if she actually graduated from the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia, with a Degree in in architecture and design, as the profile read on her website & her interview with the media.
An investigation by some Slovenian journalists & CBS News alleges that the university’s public records doesn’t show Mrs.Trump graduating with a degree. An unofficial biography — The Inside Story: From a Slovenian Communist Village to the White House claimed, Mrs. Trump’s credentials had been deliberately exaggerated to give the impression of “Beauty with Brains” , it now looks like , she had left the university after a year without a degree.
In a similar fiasco, involving Mrs Trump, she was accused of plagiarism while delivering an address at Republican National Convention -2016, that included portions strongly echoing a convention speech given by First Lady Michelle Obama in 2008. Meredith McIver, a speechwriter working for Mr Trump, took full responsibility for the apparent plagiarism after two days later.
The disappearance of melaniatrump.com web site on 27 July 2016 raised many eyebrows due to its timing, coming just days after numerous sources questioned whether possible future first lady had actually earned an undergraduate degree in architecture, as her online biography had claimed. Many claim it to be an effort to neutralise those allegations.
A tweet from Melania’s account reads “The website in question was created in 2012 and has been removed because it does not accurately reflect my current business and professional interests”. It remains unclear exactly what parts of the website were inaccurate, this proves why it is a bad idea to put any inaccurate or misleading information on a bio, résumé or cover letter, said Vicki Salemi, a a former corporate recruiter and career expert at Monster.
“Everything is transparent now,” Salemi said. “Don’t ever lie. Assume you’ll get caught. Because you will. And That will follow you and haunt you.”
Her thesis couldn’t be found in the university system or the country’s national register of publications. Official answers have not been forthcoming from the university and from the heads of the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Ljubljana as to whether Mrs. Melania Trump had graduated or not. The Faculty have been tight-lipped, citing strict Slovenian legislation on personal data, maintaining that it was Melania’s personal business.

The Trump campaign didn’t respond immediately on request for a comment, Guess Trump Campaign doesn’t have anyone in their team to take full responsibility this time.
