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.

« Go Back
I am a linguistic genious....My CV: "I spent a period of 14 months (August 2003 – September 2004) living and working overseas. I predominantly lived & stayed in Australia but also spent extended periods in South Africa and Hong Kong. I feel I used this time very productively through travel, work and lifestyle. As shown above I completed some significant work contracts for large companies which continued my professional development as well as opening my eyes to international work. I balanced this with a radical change in lifestyle from living in a foreign country. I found I quickly adapted to new environments and enjoyed the new sights and experiences this afforded me."
Translation: I went backpacking for 14 months, then everynight got pissed/stoned on an astounding variety of unfamiliar toxins and somehow managed to cope when I discovered myself living or waking in a new place I didn't recognise. I paid for it with several shit jobs for faceless companies. :-)
