If You’re Going To Lie About Your Job Experience, Do It For A Restaurant Position

Moral of this story — don’t lie on your job application:

Two dozen ex-convicts who applied for jobs at Kennedy and La Guardia airports were arrested yesterday for lying about their criminal backgrounds on security clearance forms that would have granted them access to sensitive areas, authorities said.

The job-seekers had convictions that ranged from robbery to weapons possession, but allegedly denied it on the applications.

. . .

The 24 would-be employees include men and women from throughout the five boroughs and Long Island. Their ages range from 20 to 65.

The defendants are each charged with offering a false instrument for filing. If convicted, each faces up to four years in jail.
