Is it morally wrong to tweak my actual job titles on my resume to bypass ATS as long as my responsibilities match the job description perfectly?
My previous company used absurd internal titles. For example, my official title was "Customer Success Champion," but my day-to-day work was 100% Account Managment. I got zero callbacks for months using my real title.
Two weeks ago, I changed it to "Account Manager" on my resume. I suddenly have three intervews lined up.
But now I am panicking. Will this discrepency show up during a background check or employment verification, and did I make a huge mistake by lying about the official title?
