    I don't think many people lie, but a lot of people exaggerate or embelish their CV. In IT, for example, a company may say 'must have 5 years experience' in a particular piece of software when really sometimes 2 - 3 years is more than enough. I remember applying for jobs in 2001, stating must have 3 years experience in Windows 2000

      Biggest blag on my CV is that I know what I'm talking about

      The great thing about public sector contracting is that no matter how retarded you are, the feckers you work for will be even more retarted

        That's what I found when making my first move into contracting - I spent alot of investment in qualifications moving from one profession to another - only to find the biggest bunch of dysfunctional, lying inbreds that dared to blag their way into sub 6 figure contracts.

        I fitted in immediately.
        If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.
