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.

CompaniesPrior to my recent job move, I had worked at the same company for 18 years. I had been advised that this would be taken as evidence of inertia, rather than the brilliant decisiveness-to-stay that it actually was.
Luckily, I was able to use the company's many changes of name over the years to put together a CV that looked something like a normal career progression. OK, not exactly a lie, but what the hell.
Cue redundancy, my new employers turned up personally at the office within the hour and offered me a job on the spot. (Yes, I am a supremely spawny get.)
Therefore, lovely inventiveness of the CV goes unseen. Sigh.
