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 cant do flashput flash on my CV as i had done some at uni but hated it. managed to blag the first interview with some big flashy flash-based company, the guy interviewing me wasnt the boss but some underling who must have gone back to the big boss and said "holy hell! hire that guy!!".
Got an email saying, "we liked your previous interview a lot but for policy-sake we have to have a second one, bring some flash anim based on xxxx. see you on monday pm...".
did no work for this till monday am. Arrived early - big boss. bigger boss and me round a table. showed them what i had done and they looked at me like i had just asked them to shove the table fruit up me. told them i was wasting their time and i should leave, but they had practically chosen me already and had no-one else left to interview. they quite desperately tried to find some post i could fill, but i left rather embarassed.
think flash is still on my CV actually...
no apologies for length - i already warned you, apologies for the cheesy smell tho.
