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.

Not many lies, to be honestOther than conveniently not listing the first year of University where I failed an electrical engineering course and moved into IT..
I also tend to think that 'involved in supporting and promoting the UK bi community' can probably be left off my CV until /after/ I've got the job, for certain companies..
There might be a few items on my CV that are a little rusty, or that I'd rather not touch again (i.e. OS/2) but that's just part of the game.
Or claiming to know C++, when in fact, I really knew C with a couple of C++ bits.. (and definitely didn't know any of the STL at the time).
Now, if you want to ask about my time in HR departments and suchlike that's a different story..
