CV integrity?

[Sysman]

This poll needs another option:

• A scummy agent rewrote it

Which is why I voted AndyW wrote it

Fortunately being a tester there seems to be plenty of work out there, so I see what you say by it's your sales pitch. Therefore I tend to ensure I eveidenced as much as possible whilst still keeping it concise and readable.

Agreed, but your CV is the sales pitch to get you in the door and a bit of ‘flowering’ up does no harm IMO.

You can portray the work you've done in the most advantageous way without lying.

100% true. For a given value of "true" of course.

100% true. For a given value of "true" of course.

So you really did single handedly write the Mars Lander program for NASA then

A few years ago, I slightly exaggerated my Oracle skills to get a contract (I’m mostly SQL Server). As the concepts are the same just a different toolkit, I put initial rustiness down to different versions and I was fine and indeed got several extensions.

I was 100% confident I could fulfil the role and that was my only concern. Forget the morals old boy, I’ve got a mortgage to pay.
