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.

Nobody reads CVs anywayThe last job I took was behind a bar working for one of the big shot nightclubs in my town, a chain franchise.
Under "Greatest achievements" I put "I once learned to tie my own shoelaces". To my surprise they hired me, but it was never mentioned.
In the past I've applied to work for safeway, back when I was living at home and my dad pressured me into work, picked up a CV for me and made me fill it out. I had to make sure I didnt get the job, so under the heading "In your own words, what makes you qualified for this job" I casually wrote "My cock is bigger than yours". They didnt get in touch.
