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.

too true to be goodI'm a copywriter, so pretty much everything I write is a professional lie. My CV says that I have four A grades at A' level, a first class BA and a distinction in my MA. People either assume I'm lying and disregard my application, or assume that I'm a wanker and disregard my application. The qualifications are true, so I usually drop the MA, give myself a 2:1 and add a few Bs or Cs to the A' levels. Then I get interviews. Ironically, I failed all my GCSEs, which makes what followed even more unlikely.
