You don't pad your resume, of course, but then if you were to pad said resume, perhaps the best padding would be a first-class Chinese university that no one could call to check up on. Then again, buying one online from the University of Belarus is a viable option as well. You choose. Either way, get a little more educated with this lesson on a couple of the top schools in China, in Mandarin.
