NO NO NO, don't ever remove your PhD credential from your resume if you indeed have one. Many employers see this as a taboo

<p>I doubt that it's really a taboo. They have to SPECIFICALLY ASK whether you have a degree or not. If they don't ask, you are under no obligation to tell them. Again, like I said, this is just a job interview. It's not a testimonial to God.</p>

and some even fired employers immediately after finding out they didn't reveal the whole truth.

<p>Uh, how's that? On what grounds could they fire you? Revealing the whole truth is not a requirement in the interview. After all, you didn't lie in the interview. You didn't claim to have a degree that you didn't have. You just didn't mention a degree that you did have, but that's perfectly valid. After all, if they don't specifically ask about it, then you are under no obligation to tell them. </p>
<p>Again, let me put it to you this way. Do you really think your employer is telling you the whole truth? Right. So why do you feel obligated to tell your employer the whole truth? Hiring/employment is a business arrangement, nothing more. Business partners don't tell each other the whole truth, nor are they expected to. Business is business.</p>
