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.

Going to the gym...I once interviewed a girl who listed one of her hobbies as going to the gym.
This in itself may not have been a lie, but it did imply that she actually actually did something when she went to the gym - apart from simply eating and watching!
Imagine my horror when the 22 stone beast nearly broke the chair in the interview room when she sat down opposite me.
She got the job! She was my replacement and I wanted my boss to have somebody hot (and no doubt constantly sweaty) to look at during his working day!
