You put your "Social Life" on your CV?Originally posted by Joe90 View PostI got myself a 2:1 last week, and I'm rather happy to say that I walked into my first contract within 24 hours of leaving uni.
I've heard that about first before though, the whole 'no social life' thing, and I wasn't far off a first. imo its BS, if an employer thought I had no social life they hadn't read my CV beyond my grade!

Would they get into trouble if they were caught fibbing by claiming only a 2.2 on their CV.
