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.

Yep...sure I know Quark
I once applied for a post of 'Web Artist'

I had no idea what a web artist done...but being a web designer...i thought it was going to be similar...so sent in my CV, they called and asked me to come in for an interview. joy!

So....they ask about my skills and I tell them about my HTML/Flash skills etc etc...they're kind of looking a bit blank.

They notice I have 'Quark' on my CV...which to be honest, i used once, at university.

So, they ask about my quark skills...and I tell them I'm ..err...proficient in Quark "oh good, we have a little test for you"

erk

they left the room and left me to do a newspaper mock up in Quark....i stared blankly at it for 5 mins...tabs? rulers? whats aall this crap...err...ummm

one guy come back in the room for a pen and asks how I'm getting on.....'fine' i reply.

as soon as the door closes, i get my jacket and bag....quietly open a very creaky door....trip over a phone in the hall way and run down the stairs..pissing myself with laughter at my silent getaway...

teach me to tell porkies.

p.s can anyone tell me what a web artist is?
