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.

big lie
I applied for a job as cellar man at the hammersmith apollo some years ago.. I wasto be in charge of maintaining dozens of bars and looking after thousands and thousands of barrels of beer.
I'd never poured a pint, or changed a barrel, so to get around this, I wrote that I had run a chain of top nightclubs throughout the middle east, but wanted a less stressful job that gave me more free time. the truth was i'd been a glass collector and toilet attendant in Tel Aviv for about 3 days
got the job!
