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.

I call it bending the truthI was fired a few years ago for apparently stealing £13k's worth of computer equipment from a computer store. Obviously this isn't something you can put onto a CV, so it was replaced with "made part-time". I got barwork about a fortnight later with a 50% payrise, which was great :D
A few weeks later, I was offered an interview in a local rival's computer company, and my original old bosses found out. They actually rung them up attempting to saboutage my chances by stating that I was fired for theft etc, to which they replied "Yeah, he told us thanks" and hung up. I started work for them a week later :D
Incidentally, the accusing company found out 4 years later that it was one of the partners that had swindled them out of approximately £52,000 worth of stock, which was about 4 times the amount I was accused of. They subsequently went bankrupt straight after. Fucking A1.
