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.

Sometimes you can be too honest...Ive never really lied on a CV although I did just guess what my predicted grade was, for jobs I applied for during my year off from uni. As far as I know no one I ever worked for ever checked up on that.
Howevers some classics some people I know said in interviews for the same companies that I had interviews at:
When asked why do you see as your worst quality one guy actually listed things he was bad at. Getting up in the morning, finding it difficult to learn things.
Another one actually asked if he could start at 10am because it would be easier for his sleep pattern.
I swear I got more job offers because I was just the best of a bad bunch.
Saying that Ive been unemployed for over a month now :(
