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.

Job applicantI was looking for a new draughtsman through an agency. One CV came was from quite a young chap but academically seemed perfect until I had a closer look at his other experience.
Carer for OAP for five years.
Building and grounds maintenance for five years.
Hang on a mo, hes only 18. It suddenly became clear, he went to live with his gran when he was 13.
Then I opened his CV in word, he had a full page sized Ford XR3 as a watermark ffs.
The agency seemed a bit miffed when I told them "they were being silly".
