Never lied, merely "enhanced"
Never actually wrote anything technically untrue on my CV's, just enhanced the minor truths.

Anyways, last year I was bored and pissed off with my job so went for a job in IT recruitment, after reading the job role I realised that I didn't actually want the job but I wanted the experience.

So, turn up for interview, speak to 2nd in command of company, as soon as I sit down my 5yrs of sales experience takes charge, I completely controlled the interview, cutting the guy up, interjecting but in a pleasant way.

2 days later I get a call asking me back for a second interview, I mention that I'm not really happy with the wages, so they phone back an hour later offering a higher wage, I still say it's not enough, the call back again offering me higher. I say I'll think about it.

Go back for 2nd interview, all going well until they say "it's a busy office so there will be times when we'll just need you to do stuff", I say sure, but I expect to spoken to nicely, a look of horror spreads across their face that I could be so rude as to expect common decency, they reply "well, it is busy, so we don't always time for please and thank you", "fine" I say, "but politeness doesn't cost".

I didn't get the job I didn't want, despite negotiating a higher wage all because I expected to be spoken to nicely!

The cheek of me!

Oh yeah, CV's are pretty darn useless, having the balls and the words in the interview counts for so much more.
