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.

I have a good lie or several..........In approximately 2 weeks, I will receive my paperwork that allows me to work legally here in the US......however, I've been here 7 years and have not been out of work yet - nor had to scrub toilets or pick strawberries.
See, although I failed all but one of my GCSE's (English - got a C), I just write on my resume that I had a standard UK education. To most employers, that means that I went to Oxford or Cambridge.....I barely scraped through my GCSE exams, FFS!
I also am in my 3rd job in 7 years - they just found out I'm not quite legal and they bent over backwards to keep me instead of firing me and reporting me as they should have done.
I can't wait till I get my paperwork through, then I'll be able to make even more money! g o d d ess bless the USA!
Edit: Well fuck me with a bargepole, I just got a vital piece of paperwork in the mail!
