Its a tricky one to be honest with you. Best way is to do Ardas infront of Maharaj and take Hukamnama. Then see what message you get. I know its difficult getting a job and its very tempting to lie. It's sad to see that a lot of people get jobs or higher positions because they 'blagged' their way through. Very difficult to find a company that don't lie themselves through to earn money! U'l be surprised!

don't worry about it do some bani and ardaas to maharaj and take hukam, its not a big deal

If you lied to get that job than its bound to come back to you

How are you meant to do KIRAT ( honest living ) if it is based on CHOOT ( Lies)

I'd say come clean abotu it , and do ardas

As mentioned in this day and age it is extremely hard to get a job without lying is some shape way or form. However daas would disagree with the point that it is not a big deal.

To lie is to deviate from the truth. SatGuru Ji is the only truth.

If we truly believe in giving our heads to SatGuru Ji and what Maharaj does for us and/or to us is for the best, then irrespective of the consequences we shouldn't lie at all.

What is done is done, but this does not make it right and certainly does not mean just forget about it like its a 'minor'. It is good that you have shown regret, it shows that you have acknowledged your mistake and fault. All daas can suggest is that we don't fall into the trap of lying regularly by doing extra paath whenever it may happen eg: 5 chaupai sahib paaths and an ardas and ask for unflinching faith in the Naam.

Note: Witholding information or not being fully co-operate is a different story altogether -> Police type scenarios's when getting questioned :D

All i say is deal with it...you can't knowingly do wrong and then expect not to deal with the consequence.

Some may I am being harsh but it's reality

...you may hope that posting it on the internet ... may reduce your feeling of guilt, but honestly, it would take real courage and good character to own up to those that you deceived...that ...in my opinion would be the correct way forward...

but...you make your own decisions...remember our actions are based on a mind set, repetitive actions become a habit, habit develops our character, our character determines our destiny...
