This is a question Lies I told on my CV

I'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.

a physics degree? bollocks
Place where I used to work did typesetting for scientific journals. Sounds boring but was, in fact, a good laugh, and taught me everything I needed to know about tattyshop.

they advertised for a new editor, whose job was to go through the newly typeset documents and look for errors in the equations etc.

only they got a beer-swilling thicky bloke, who had somehow managed to persuade them that he had a physics 1st class honours degree.

they started checking up after that.
