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.

I generally omit
that I'm an anarchist, was a union delegate for three and a half years, was fired for being overly Bolshie in my role as a union delegate, and intend to start my own co-operative rather than remain in someone else's employment.

I feel it proves I'm self-motivated and can work in teams, but some employers seem to disagree.
