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.

Not me, but an ex-colleague...listed as one of his hobbies "collecting crystal figurines". This was total fabrication, and in fact a tool to garner interest in the rest of his CV. Worked a treat, as we employed him, mainly it seems, to quiz him about the crystal figurines. How do Lee Crane if you're reading this.
As for me, I never lie on my CV but in general I find they must be "tailored" for each job in question.
