John Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Have you lied on your CV? Would you been where you are without having done so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XADRIAN Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Yes, I had to OMITT my masters as I could not get a crappy job (through ag agency) by putting my masters on the bloody thing.....after I graduated. I know of many people ho have got jobs by putting a load of cobblers down....the employer rarley checks as it would be a logistical nighmare.....I'm not advocating that anyone else should though ....is omitting still lying?

I haven't either - it's tricky to blag your way through an IT interview now that companies often include written and practical tests as part of the process! And besides, I would not like anything to damage the sacred bond between employer and employee. I do get $@*^ed off when people lie on their CV and get jobs that a better qualified, but more honest person, would otherwise get. I hope the liars all burn in Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lickszz Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Originally posted by mikey Its not all about qualifications though, experience and the abilty to apply the learning is more important IMHO Too true.
