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.

semantics are your friendI am a freelancer, so certain amount of my CV always involves some liberty with the truth. I've become so good at changing certain words to completely shift the focus (according to the contract I'm after) that my recruitment agencies have even taken to using my squillions of alternative CVs as examples for other new recruits to 'look and learn how to bullsh*t'.
Mind you, I probably shouldn't lie about still being 'highly proficient' in pretty much every design package when I left my graphics career 5 years ago. Oopsy.
