Suspect CFA claim on resume - update details, question, actually, online

YouCanDoIt

For those who followed the story from 5 months ago, the person in question who lied on their resume about their CFA level candidate got a formal letter of suspension from CFAI PCP.

CFAI is killing her candidacy for L2 this year, no refunds obviously. I don't have exact details of the suspension.. it may actually be termination. But her resume online is also updated

it went from: CFA Level 2 Candidate
Now: Passed L1 on the first attempt <- Anyone else think this is lame??


So, CFAI is comprised of 2 different teams.

If you get caught, one team calls you right away and tells you to stop the violation (we saw this happen).
The other team formally sets a date to reviews all the facts in a committee, decides, and sends a formal letter and takes 5 months.

You'd be surprised how unethical and/or clueless and/or lazy some people are in real life... just check the level 1 forum and count the 'Hey can I skip X section of the CFA?', threads there are come less than one month before the exam.

Thank you ohai. Odd story... why would anyone do that? You have to know better.

She's got to ham up passing L1 on the first attempt (assuming even that is true), because that may be all she may ever be able to do with CFA related stuff.

From what I gather: Initially, she said she was a L3 candidate while in reality, she was only a L2 candidate. After she was reported and received the warning from CFAI police team 1, she changed her resume to say she was a L2 candidate. After being suspended by CFAI police team 2, she changed her resume to say that she passed L1.

Missed the original story and have a quick question.

You said that they are killing her Level 2 candidacy for this year, with no refunds. If she was signed up for the test, therefore being a candidate, what was wrong with her stating the candidacy on her resume? Was the resume written before she signed up for the test?

Well, now that we're on the topics of revenge and shagging, I must say, that if I were a psychopathic woman out to get revenge on someone, I would first seduce him. Of course, this would be a ploy to lure him into a vulnerable position which would enable me to bite/cut off his manliness. Of course, this is all hypothetical.

revenge...a dish best served cold.

i'd be looking over my shoulder if i were you...hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn!

Probably she lied all those things to get a job. Has she gotten a job yet?
