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.

LiiiiiesI was on the dole for a few months a couple years ago, was the best thing to do until something good came up.
However those of you who have been on the dole will know they find jobs for you that match your talents that you have to apply for whether you want to or not.
Seen as I am a sailer who was waiting for delivery/racing work I wasnt so keen on working full time at the local Hardware store or pound land.
This meant I had to spend a huge amount of time "adjusting" my CV so that I wouldnt get the job.
This included having almost pathological interests in tools including the line. "I feel that I was born to work with all types of electrical saws and I have a passion for all DIY tools."
and listing "standing absolutely still" as a hobby and interest.
Needless to say I didnt get any jobs till I was taken on by a yacht in Thailand - winner!!!
