Straight from the CalPERS CFO...

There are folks out there who are saying that I embellished my resume to get the CFO job at CalPERS.

Let me point out to them -- that after a solid foundation with BBA, CPA, MBA, CFA and an FT Advanced Diploma in Board Governance, and several years of solid achievements in value creation and people development, even on the international scale, I need no embellishment — there is no room for that on my resume. I have worked to achieve all that is represented on my resume! Let’s talk about results!

Lol..that's so funny. Embellishment or not, congrats on getting the role. Even if you did embellished your resume (and I am not insinuating that you did) that would still be an achievement as you still have to pass the interview and actually do the job. Congrats!
