whats the biggest Lie or "blag" you have ever put on your CV?

[Xenophon]

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.

Ditto.

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

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

Good thinking cojak....

...but why do I have that rabbits in the headlamps feeling.

I have a funny feeling I'm going to end up as a "legacy" programmer.

What's SM software? For me, SM's all about the hardware if you catch my drift.

[cojak]

No - I have a mortal fear of getting caught.

When I need to bolster my CV, I add it through training and experience in my current contract.

Currently volunteering for a big implementation of some SM software that's going to make me a very popular person later in the year.

It's all about thinking about your next contract before your current one comes to an end...

No. Never.

I have no need to.

I would never make an out right lie on my CV - Just apply some New Liebour spin to it

[hyperD]

I said I was the Earl of Buckingham on my CV - what a fecking mistake that was....

[TheMonkey]

Not needed to. I'm ommitted crap projects though and bigged up some minor ones that were more relevant.

[Denny]

Liar.

do people do this?!??!!

No. Never.
