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.

AchievementNot my CV, and possibly not a lie.
When I worked at Gadgetshop I was randomly looking through the pile of CVs during my lunch break. Gadgetshop was known for it's fairly quirky recruitment style - I had to dance to get an application form and sing a nursery rhyme as part of my interview, embarassing but then I got the job so not really a problem - and some guy was obviously trying to play on this.
The bit that stood out was
"Achievements: My parents have never caught me"
Didn't specify what, but I think deep down we all knew.
