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."

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.

Mitzi, we know your videos are not spam. And we like them very very much. They're hilarious.

Keep them coming, Mitzi. You're inspired.

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.
