Opening
Resume fraud destroys careers faster than missing a cert — document honest cert lines only.
Resume ethics: list cert name, vendor, date passed (when true), no 'CISSP expected' styled as earned, no fake Security+ from dump pass with proxy, no inflated OSCP if exam pending. Cross-link M4 experience ethics. Next: Continuing Education.
