I lied about my education to my employer and background check revealed I did not graduate. How do I respond to my employer after they send me the following?

In order for us to move forward and complete the background check investigation, we need to understand the reason for the discrepancy and know about your highest level of education completed.

Thank You

  If it was an obvious lie and not something that could be an honest mistake (getting your graduation date wrong by a month or something) then I would say there there is little chance to rectify it at this point if you're not already working for the company. Even if the degree isn't required, there is to be something said about your level of trustworthiness.

Side note: they are very professional.

You should own up the the lie, apoligise, be honest about the reasons why you lied, indicate that you are committed to learn from the experience, ask for a second chance to prove your trustworthiness, and thank them for giving you an opportunity to explain yourself.

Then you should indicate what your actual highest level of education is, and don't lie this time.

Your chances are very slim. Hopefully you can rationalise why you were dishonest with them in a way that they are willing to accept. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

Be as honest as possible. If you were on track to graduate but fumbled at last minute that is understandable. But otherwise very hard to save this, if there was a less positive explanation.

Keep whatever you say simple and truthful.
