New survey data indicates that one in four job applicants has lied, exaggerated or provided inaccurate information on their applications in some way, shape or form and Gen Z leads the trend.The findings from career.io a career services platform indicate nearly half (approximately 47%) of the age group admitted to falsifying some aspect of their job applications to fit the mold they think employers are looking for, followed by 38.5% of millennials, 20.4% of Gen Xers and 9.4% of baby boomers.A spreadsheet detailing the survey data, provided to Fox News Digital, indicates that a majority of zoomers (slang for Gen Z) lied in key areas such as "work experience" (22.97%), and job "responsibilities" (28.38%), with "job title" coming in third at 17.57%. The large percentages indicate some survey participants falsified more than one area of their job applications.Across all generations, "work experience" and "responsibilities" ranked the highest out of all falsified categories, but to a lesser degree than zoomers.GEN Z BRANDED AS THE 'MOST GULLIBLE GENERATION' AFTER NEW ANALYSIS OF MEDIA HABITSCertified Professional Career Coach (CPCC) Amanda Augustine told Fox News Digital the prevailing reason for the falsehoods is that young applicants with limited experience are desperate to make a good first impression and get their foot in the door."You hear so much of people complaining about this big resume hole their applications have fallen into, and it's out of sheer desperation that they're trying to enhance their experience in a way that will hopefully land them at least that interview," she said Tuesday.Augustine has worked with multiple clients over the years to help them reach their full professional potential.She has heard many of these clients say they would be great for a role, even if they don't appear perfect on paper, and they only need the chance to prove themselves."I think it's that sentiment across all generations, but especially this younger generation that has not necessarily had to face the job market before, is really fueling some of these white lies, some of these flat-out lies that they're putting on applications," Augustine said to Fox News Digital.GEN Z BRANDED AS 'THE GHOSTED GENERATION' AS DATES, COLLEGES AND EMPLOYERS KEEP SAYING 'NO'The data appears to reflect a desperation to appear "experienced" that steadily declines with age, indicating those still relatively new to the job market are uncertain about the navigation techniques they need to employ to find work.The dropoff between zoomers and millennials who admitted to lying with regard to job responsibilities was approximately 8 percent, with Gen Xers and baby boomers continuing to dial back the intensity.In the "work experience" area, zoomers' 22.97% still sat a few points higher than millennials' 18.70%. Compare that to Gen Xers and baby boomers at 9.51% and 3.59%, respectively.Augustine says some of the falsehoods, such as lengthening the time worked at a specific location, are done to mitigate the stigma of employment gaps, something job applicants are forced to confront from time to time."I think people are really trying to find ways to do little stretches of the truth that they believe will land them that interview so that those small inconsistencies will just kind of be swept under the rug and ignored if they make a great impression during the interview process," she said.COVID 5 YEARS LATER: IMPACT ON THE WORKPLACEBut lies and fabrications can lead to big problems and have done so in some high-profile cases.Veritas Software CFO Kenneth E. Lonchar for instance, lost his position after an investigation uncovered that he had falsified his academic records and USPS vice president of corporate communicationsWilliam (Bill) Whitman Jr. was fired shortly after being hired for falsifying information about his academic background and work achievements.Augustine says, for those with limited experience who want to appear as capable as possible for a role, focus on taking an inventory of your skills."There is such a greater emphasis placed on the soft skills such as collaboration, communication, problem solving. I mean, who doesn't need a creative problem solver for their business these days? I can't think of an industry where that wouldn't be helpful in some shape or form," she said.But providing examples of times you have had to use the skills you profess to have or closing skill gaps through means such as taking an online course or learning from free demos are also important, she noted.Then there's networking another useful tool in your tool belt if you're trying to get your foot in the door."I can't say it enough. Especially in this current economy and job market, networking is always going to be key. I don't care if you just graduated from school, or you have 30-plus years of experience. Everybody has a network, whether they realize it or not that is your classmates, your mentors, your career advisors, your professors, people you've mentored in the past, people that you've worked with previously If you aren't connecting with those people on LinkedIn and growing your professional network and investing in managing those relationships, you are doing your job search a major disservice."

Astonishing footage of a woman assaulting a pro-life activist stunned the internet in early April, when the young advocate was conducting man-on-the-street interviews in New York City before being attacked by a pro-abortion subject.Savannah Craven Antao was assaulted by a woman who consented to an on-camera conversation regarding abortion issues."Savannah was having these conversations," Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action, a pro-life anti-abortion nonprofit organization, told Fox News Digital. "One of them obviously went really south in that the woman that she was speaking with certainly engaged her, seemed pretty friendly but ultimately ended up getting very angry."PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST ASSAULTED, BLOODIED DURING STREET INTERVIEW ABOUT ABORTIONA video captured by Antaos husband, the cameraman, caught the woman, Brianna J. Rivers, 30, throwing sucker punches. Rivers was later arrested on one count of second-degree assault, according to a report by the New York Post.Antao was left bleeding and in need of stitches. She was taken to the emergency room for treatment."This woman kind of just marched off yelling profanities," Rose said. "You cant just go punching and assaulting people and sending them to the emergency room for stitches."The response by social media users was divided as some submitted comments in favor of the assaulter, while others were horrified by the attack and feared for their own safety as pro-lifers.ABORTION PILL' FOUND TO HAVE SEVERE ADVERSE EFFECTS FOR 1 IN 10 WOMEN, STUDY FINDS"It was really troubling to see the response by some, not by all, but by some people," Rose said. "There were again people that supported abortion who said basically Savannah had what was coming to her. How dare she talk to people about this issue? She's going to get hit in the face. As if physical violence for a conversation is somehow justified."However, Rose is hopeful that basic discourse with restraint and without physical violence is still valued among Americans."There is, I think, a growing group of people who think that violence against people you disagree with politically is okay," Rose said. "And particularly who, because they support the violence of abortion, they think that it's okay then to be violent to people that are born, too, who you disagree with."Abortion issues, a discussion point which has gained inconsistent notoriety among both Republicans and Democrats, were a focal point of the 2024 presidential elections where President Donald Trump ran as a pro-life advocate.ABORTION ON DEMAND: THESE 6 STATES ALLOW WOMEN TO GET PREGNANCY-ENDING DRUGS BY PHONE OR ONLINEIn late March, President Trump withheld tens of millions of dollars in Planned Parenthood funds for possible violation of civil rights laws, according to reports."I thought this was a great step in the right direction," Rose said. "Planned Parenthood claims that they are about planning parenthood, but they do the exact opposite. They destroy parenthood.""The fact that the Trump administration has removed some funding, I think, is a very positive step. The reality is that, though, the recent action by the Trump administration is only, were talking about the tens of millions of dollars when there's $700 million that Planned Parenthood is receiving. This is a small step forward but what we need to see from the federal branch is more responsibility and accountability to stop funding abortion providers."In 2024, it was reported that "an estimated 1,038,000 abortions were provided by clinicians in states without total bans in 2024," according to the Guttmacher Institute, a non-governmental organization funded, in part, by Planned Parenthood.DEMS WILL MAKE STATE SANCTUARY FOR KIDS' GENDER TRANSITIONS, ABORTION OVER GOP PROTESTAmong those who obtained abortion care in 2021-2022, 53% of them paid out of pocket and 30% used Medicaid to fund their treatments, according to the source."A common rebuttal from, certainly, pro-abortion Democrats, is saying, Well, were not funding taxpayer abortions. Were just taxpayer-funding abortion providers and the reality is the money is fungible," Rose said."Planned parenthood is billing Medicaid and getting government funds for basically all of their other operational expenses and many other of their procedures that ultimately prop up their abortion business."Medication abortions made up 63% of the clinician-provided abortions in 2023, according to Guttmacher."We need to see the abortion pill, which lands 1 out of every 10 women that take it with serious health consequences including emergency room visits," Rose said of the pill, mifepristone, used in combination with another medication, misoprostol, to terminate pregnancies.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"We should see that dangerous drug pulled from the market."In late April, a study conducted by the Ethics & Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., revealed "severe adverse effects" for nearly 11% of women, more than 1 in 10, who used the abortion drug."No taxpayer money should be going to them," Rose said. "They should be shut down."

In the mountains of western North Carolina Friday, two families that lost nearly everything to Hurricane Helene stepped into brand-new homes donated by Samaritan's Purse.In an exclusive look provided to Fox News Digital, Rev. Franklin Graham, president of Samaritans Purse, dedicated the first mobile homes completed as part of a massive rebuilding effort aimed at restoring hope to families devastated by the storm."Were grateful that they have a new home," Graham said. "But, more importantly, we want these families to know that God loves them, and He hasnt forgotten them."PRESIDENT TRUMP'S VISIT TO NORTH CAROLINA 'GAVE PEOPLE HOPE': REV. FRANKLIN GRAHAMGraham, who grew up just down the road from Swannanoa, called it a "full-circle moment" while standing near the same stretch of land where floodwaters swept through mobile home communities last fall."To see these families move back into a real home again ... we just thank God," he said.At the first dedication, a young mother stood on the threshold of her new home, clutching her baby and wiping away tears. Her family had been living in a cramped camper ever since their trailer was destroyed by floodwaters. Just days earlier, she had welcomed a newborn into the world."God has provided shelter for me," she said softly. "He helped us get closer as a family. Its been such a long journey, but I kept clinging to faith and patience."She thought Samaritans Purse might help rebuild her old trailer. What she got was something far beyond what she expected: a completely new, fully furnished home.DONALD TRUMP JR., KRISTI NOEM JOIN FRANKLIN GRAHAM IN HELENE-TORN NORTH CAROLINA WITH SAMARITAN'S PURSE"I didnt think they were going to bring us a new trailer," she said, her voice cracking. "But this was way better. I feel really emotional. Its hard to lose a house and all the stuff you worked hard for. But seeing this one, it brings me excitement. Im ready for me and my family to go in and finally have our place back."Earlier that morning, another mother and her three children stepped inside their new home for the first time. Their previous mobile home had been crushed by a falling tree during the hurricane, leaving them displaced and uncertain about the future.Both homes were built with reinforced walls, weather-resistant features and a firm foundation designed to last for years. Each one came furnished and move-in ready. Every family received not only the keys to their new home but also a Bible, a gesture Graham said reflects the heart of the mission."These are homes built by Gods people, in Jesus name," he said. "We want these families to know He hasnt turned His back on them. He loves them."Samaritans Purse is building dozens of new homes across the region and delivering upgraded mobile units to survivors. The homes weigh 7,000 pounds more than standard models and are reinforced from top to bottom roof, windows, walls and floors."These homes are the first two of many," Graham said. "And we are ready to provide hundreds more if needed."Before the rebuilding began, nearly 35,000 Samaritans Purse volunteers poured into western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. They cut down trees, cleared debris, tarped roofs and mucked out flooded homes. The ministry also conducted the largest civilian airlift in U.S. history, delivering more than 700,000 pounds of aid on 358 flights.In addition to housing, the organization has replaced hundreds of vehicles and helped thousands of families with grocery assistance and basic needs.But its the personal moments the quiet prayers, the tears of relief, the joy of children stepping into a bedroom again that define the mission."We thank everyone who gave," Graham said. "Thousands and thousands contributed. But, most of all, we thank God. Because Hes the one who makes all of this possible."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPTo apply for help or to volunteer, visit samaritanspurse.org.

The Indiana Fever are off to a red-hot start to the 2025 WNBA season, taking down the Chicago Sky, 93-58, behind Caitlin Clarks triple-double.Clark picked up right where she left off in 2024. The reigning Rookie of the Year did it all for a new-look Fever team on its home court in Indianapolis.Clark finished the game with 20 points after shooting 6-for-13 from the field with four made 3-pointers, adding 10 rebounds and 10 assists to lead her team to victory.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMShe was also doing it on the defensive end, too, registering four blocks and two steals in 32 minutes.And while Clark was the teams leading scorer, she had help from her fellow starters, including guard Kelsey Mitchell, whose savvy with the ball in her hands led to 15 points on 6-for-12 shooting.ANGEL REESE, CAITLIN CLARK HAVE HEATED EXCHANGE AFTER HARD FOUL DURING SKY-FEVER GAMEAliyah Boston, who built great chemistry with Clark during the 2024 campaign, also had a double-double, picking up 13 rebounds and 19 points on 8-for-12 shooting.Natasha Howard proved to be a problem in the paint for Chicago, scoring 15 points with five rebounds, two assists and three steals.Chicago star Angel Reese struggled to begin the season. She was just 5 of 14 from the field, though she led the game with 17 rebounds. She finished with 12 points.It was a poor shooting day all around for the Sky, though. The team shot 29.1% (23-for-79) to the Fevers 46.7%.This is the way new head coach Stephanie White wanted to kick off the season, using Clark to anchor an offense with multiple scoring options.There was a moment during the game, however, where tensions ran high and Clark was called for a flagrant foul after intentionally fouling Reese hard in the paint. Reese did not take it lightly either, getting up off the court and going at Clark, who wasnt looking for a confrontation.Referees reviewed the common foul and upgraded it to flagrant after seeing Clarks left arm appear to push Reese in the back. Reese got two free throws with Chicago retaining possession.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino issued a sharp and public condemnation of the bureau's former director, James Comey, Saturday, accusing Comey of disgracing the agency as authorities investigate Comeys controversial "86 47" Instagram post.In a statement posted to X, Bongino said Comeys actions are another example of failed leadership that continues to haunt the agency."Former FBI Director James Comey brought shame to the FBI badge, yet again, this past week," Bongino wrote. "The Director and I spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning up messes left behind by former Director Comey. And his latest actions are no exception."TRUMP SAYS COMEY KNEW 'ASSASSINATION' MEANING BEHIND DELETED SOCIAL MEDIA POSTComey, dismissed by President Donald Trump in 2017, sparked outrage after posting a photo to social media Thursday showing seashells arranged to say "86 47," a phrase widely understood to mean to "get rid of" the 47th president. Though Comey later deleted the post and claimed it was misunderstood, many, including Trump, say the meaning was clear."He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant," Trump said Friday on Fox News. "If youre the FBI director, and you dont know what that meant, that meant assassination, and it says it loud and clear."Comey offered a follow-up statement online, saying he "didnt realize some folks associate those numbers with violence" and that it "never occurred to me."Bongino strongly rejected that explanation, describing it as part of a larger pattern of misconduct. In his post, Bongino wrote:FORMER FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY MEETS WITH SECRET SERVICE AFTER CONTROVERSIAL '86 47' POST"As the Deputy Director of the FBI, I am charged, standing with Director Patel, with managing the most powerful law enforcement agency in the world. The Director and I are also responsible for looking at grave mistakes made by people within the FBI in the past, and ensuring they never happen again."He stressed the FBI's continuing commitment to supporting federal law enforcement partners investigating any threats involving public officials, past or present."While the FBI does not have primary investigative responsibility for investigating threats against the POTUS, and we do not make prosecutorial decisions, we do have the ability and authority to support other federal agencies for violations of federal law," Bongino said."And we certainly have a responsibility to comment on matters involving former FBI officials, and allegations of law-breaking."The U.S. Secret Service has already interviewed Comey about the incident. FBI Director Kash Patel said in a separate statement that the bureau is "in communication with the Secret Service and Director Curran."Bongino noted that this latest controversy is part of a general legacy of dysfunction inherited from Comeys leadership, which he and Patel are working to fix from the inside out."As Ive stated in the past, I cannot post openly about all the things the Director and I are doing to reform the enterprise, but I assure you, they are happening," Bongino wrote. "Sadly, many of those agenda items are the result of former Director Comeys poor decision-making and atrocious leadership."And to those who doubt me, I assure you, when you see what the Director and I see from the inside, its even worse."Bongino said he chose to post his statement now because his scheduled interview with FOX Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, which will air Sunday on "Sunday Morning Futures," was recorded earlier in the week, before the Comey post was made public."Im addressing this now, rather than on our interview with Maria Bartiromo [Sunday], because we recorded that interview earlier in the week prior to the incident with Comey," he explained.He closed with a message to the country that echoed his support for the law enforcement community and the reforms underway at the FBI."God bless America, and all those who defend Her," he said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPBongino, a former NYPD officer and longtime Secret Service agent, was appointed deputy director of the FBI earlier this year.His leadership under Director Kash Patel reflects a broader effort by the Trump administration to restore accountability and integrity to the FBI after years of what many see as politically motivated misconduct.The FBI did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for further comment.
