This is a question Lies I told on my CV

I'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.

Turn two languages into six

My CV states that I am fluent in Swedish and English as well as competent in Danish, Norweigan, Indonesian and Malaysian.

Norweigan and Danish are quite similar to Swedish, so I can sort of understand them.

I can speak Indonesian (a little) and it is sort of similar to Malaysian (or so I'm told).

If you follow the "if you can swear and order beer then you're fluent" approach, I could add many more.
