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.

Good CompanyA firm I worked for a while back had a great recruiting policy. If you got invited to a 2nd interview it was always early evening, around 6pm. After the 2nd interview they'd then *insist* that you came to the local pub where the candidates were plied with lots and lots of alcohol. After 5 or six pints, their CVs were pulled out and the *real* 2nd interview started.
Anyone who didn't drink were out as were anyone who couldn't handle their drink. The company found it was much easier to get a handle on what a candidate could and couldn't do after a few beers.
Cheers
