Customer Reviews

A striking and informative read and recommended for both business and general-interest collections

In 1998 the author told a lie that began her professional life: in an interview with an accounting department she claimed she held a bachelors degree in business from a large university. Using impressive interviewing skills she perpetuated this phony background, using her first entry as a stepping stone to larger gains. "Phony! How I Faked My Way Through Life" documents the history of a born liar with a high school diploma who thus wound up as the manager of the two largest financial districts in the firm. Fraud in professional credentials is an enduring social problem and not a year passes without some misrepresentation coming to light -- often making the headlines. "Phony! How I Faked My Way Through Life" is a striking and informative read and recommended for both business and general-interest collections.
