Have to admit part of my CV are complete fiction- like Lee I have over compensation my educational background, (possibly didn't pass as many A levels as I claim - okay, may possibly have left 6th form about 5 months into doing them and never took the exams ) thankfully the school I attended is no longer there for anyone to check with
I would hate to work with someone who is so blase about lying on their CV - it's just wrong in my eyes

Well, it is wrong, and it is unfair, but the thing is that it is very common.

"The Risk Advisory group has analysed 3,700 CV’s and found that one in five CV’s give false information somewhere."

That doesn't seem right.

The (lying) employee would have worked for the wages, so what right would the employer have, to recover the money?

if an employee obtains a post as a result of false information, particularly qualifications, then they have not gieven the employer what the employer believed that they were purchasing. it is even mentioned on Wikipedia.

the claim is based on misrepresentation and indeed if it is material, it can be a criminal offence.

No thanks. I'll pass.
What's that got to do with the price of fish anyway?! It's a bit rude to railroad a thread like that.

Really? Okay, fair enough. But is there any need to hijack every thread with a link to it? That activity is spamming, regardless of how great the vids are.
