Lies I told on my CVI've not had to lie on my CV (resumé for all you 'merkins) for a while, but way back when I was a teenager and C was a cool programming language, I listed it as one of my skills.
My new boss was remarkably nice about me spending my first week's employment reading a "how to program in C" book.

Part timeNot me but a friend, didn't lie on his CV but when he started his job he decided to go to college a couple of days a week. After finishing his course and going back to full time he deceided he only wanted to work two days a week, so he told his boss he had enrolled at Uni on a course which doesn't exist.
Three years later he was contracted to do a 3D walkthrough something he had obviously covered in his imaginary course. As he had no idea how to do it he subcontracted out for cheaper so he got paid for someone elses work.
His employers were so impressed he got a payrise. he has just finished his dissertation!!! so now has to work full time earning a bundle for being a really good lier. Although he is quite paranoid they might ask for a degree certificate he is thinking of leaving.
His future CVs are going to be interesting reading!
