(CNN) - A  woman who lied on her resume and faked "glowing" references to land a high-paying job with an Australian regional government has been sentenced to at least a year in prison.


Veronica Hilda Theriault, 46, was convicted Tuesday of deception, dishonesty, and abuse of public office, relating to her 2017 application for the chief information officer role, which came with an annual salary of 270,000 Australian dollars (US$185,000).

Theriault worked in the position with South Australia's Department of the Premier and Cabinet for over a month and earned about 33,000 Australian dollars ($22,500) before being fired.

She pleaded guilty to all charges and received a 25-month sentence with a non-parole period of a year.

The court heard that she submitted a fraudulent resume to the department with false information relating to her education and prior employment. After she was granted an interview, she also posed as a previous employer during a reference check, in which she "gave glowing feedback" about her own performance.
