Answer:
What negative things would be said other than you lied about the length of time you were employed. Do nothing if it gets brought up then answer the question honestly. It's always the best policy to be honest but frankly, many people bend the truth on resumes.

own up to it and update your resume

Be prepared to be terminated, as falsification is definately a terminable offense. If you are confronted directly about it, do not perpetuate the lie--grow up and own up. It is never okay to lie on your resume, as many employers do verifications. Update your resume to reflect the truth of your employment history so this situation does not happen again with your next employer. You are in the wrong here, so if you're looking for some kind of retaliation or defense, there isn't one.

Tell your employer that you are very very sorry. That the only reason you did it was because you wanted to work there so badly. Tell them that you will make it up to them anyway you can; up to and including a pay cut (until you have the experience you indicated on your resume).

tell the truth about it next time. Even if she didn't say negative things about you, a lie on thr resume is enough for an employer to not hire someone. I wouldn't hire someone who lied on a question as easy as length of time on a job. Honesty is a big thing to employers and that is an easy one to verify

If you are approached say that it was a mistake. If not keep your mouth shut and stay under the radar.

Nothing you can do sunny, I'm sorry to say. The damage is done. Look elsewhere and tell the truth this time. It ain't worth lying about this stuff....they have ways of finding out.

Try somewhere else. But make sure that there are no more lies in your resume.
