Lies I told on my CVI've not had to lie on my CV (resumé for all you 'merkins) for a while, but way back when I was a teenager and C was a cool programming language, I listed it as one of my skills.
My new boss was remarkably nice about me spending my first week's employment reading a "how to program in C" book.

DegreeI quit uni in my second year due to it being in Bradford and costing me more than being a single mother addicted to crack. I needed a job (because I was nevertheless horrendously poor and living in a mouse infested dross-hole) so I fibbed about having a degree in telecommunications.
Two years later and I'm now working for a very large (you will have heard of it) telecommunications firm. I'm on good money and people respect me. The HR department have just got round to asking me to show them a copy of my degree certificate.
It's either crack out CS and pray, or tell the truth and kiss goodbye to my car. What would you do!?
(So far I have deleted the email request and prayed. This has worked for 2 weeks but since HR pay me they are unlikely to forget I exist. Bugger)
