Here's how to fake a CV and get away with it.
Type your name into google.
You will get lots of information about other people with the same name.
Copy their outlandish deeds into your CV and if a prosepective employer claims you couldn't have achieved so much in one short life you tell him to look you up on google.

Just hope
that the same person hasn't committed rape since you wrote your CV.

I am...
A middle aged man responsible for undertaking final checks in the RFA engines

Which I don't think my employers would believe as I am actually a woman in my early 20's...

If I droped a letter of my surname I could be a hip male muscian who graduated top of my class at Oxford..

all well and good
But there's only one of me on google.

Well, technically there's another but he seems to have died in the 1750s and I can't put "Basket Maker" on my CV.

There's only one of me, too.
Of course, I knew I was special.


As CHCB put it, that's "yellow bus special"

I can choose from a famous acrobat, an Economics and finance lecturer,
Or the co-author on a paper exploring 'The Environmental Image of Companies in the Modern World.'

And that was only the front page.

It makes me feel slightly inadequate...

Impressive as this is, I feel it is unlikely to get me far in my chosen 'profession' (if you can call it that) of... music. Hmm.

Damn my common name
there's loads of me...

But I can be either an African photographer (with a Welsh surname!), a footballer for the Wolverhampton Wanderers 'special' youth reserves team or something, or, well, pretty much anything, to be honest.

*aces*

Pffft.
I don't even have to use Google to know what mine should say- I was the Prime Minister of a major western country. Anyone who searches for my real name will find him instead.

And searching for my full name- middle name and all- still turns up nothing on me. Not even if I include any of the cities I've lived in.

I'm a ghost...
