The current system of job seeking often requires to lie on resume. It is even being highly recommended by people that coach people for job seeking, although with some moderation of course.

I wanted to hire a guy and then we found a lie on his resume. He said he had graduated but in fact he had a few weeks left to graduate. He would have the degree by the time he started the position. Our agency wouldn't touch him after that. A lie on the resume was a deal killer.

If he said "Degree expected on " rather than I have a degree he would have the job now.

Probably not. HR would have just pre filtered him anyway.
