Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Lying on an Application for a State Job
I know legally one can lie to a private employer on a job application and not get in trouble (by trouble I mean charged with a crime, obviously you can get fired). Is the same true for a job with a state agency? Not something like CHP, Doctor, Lawyer, or Nurse, but a job like an office assistant. If one meets all educational requirements but not experience, would they have committed a crime if they made up experience being an office worker? Don't care about the ethical portion of it, just wondering if it is a crime or not. Oh forgot to mention nothing on the state job application says to sign under 'penalty of perjury'.
