Waldo Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 For a start he will have a job and pay taxes rather than unemployment benefit. As I said, good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denlin Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 iv always lied about qualifications and walked into every job iv applied for they never check up in the real world. Well I hope you are proud of yourself, maybe you should take a course in written English. :hihi::hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Sorry, I also disagree completely about the little white lie coming out in the wash comment tooJust belatedly adding some about that. Again, you are entirely free to disagree, of course...but e.g. the audio-typists who claims super-proficiency [e.g. OCR (RSA) III + and 90+ wpm] hasn't really got anywhere to hide, when she consistently produces one grammatically-incorrect 2-page letters riddled with spelling errors an hour. Same with the fee earner who claims pre-litigation and conflict mediation experience, but whose first draw-to-attention letter is riddled with (client and company endangering-) statutorily-actionable threats. Like it or not, believe it or not, there are many readily-verifiable limits to "CV embellishment", and by-and-large it's the jobs themselves that provide them: sooner or later it always comes out in the wash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was standard deal with the agency that new workers could be sacked on day one with no fee payable. They called it "contract voided" or something. Much harder and painful in a real job tho.

Again its different...what you described of course if they cant type at 90wpm it becomes apparent. ---------- Post added 21-04-2015 at 15:09 ---------- As I said, good luck with it. I dont lie on my CV. I was explaining it is quite easy to do. For example I could easily make up exam grades, it would be hard for anyone to verify that because I tried when applying to Uni! ---------- Post added 21-04-2015 at 15:11 ---------- I also think tbh, if young people cant get a job then they need to get a foot in the door, by hook or by crook. Nobody owes you a living... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go4it Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Not in my experience. You are fresh out of Uni aren't you? ---------- Post added 21-04-2015 at 19:40 ---------- For example I could easily make up exam grades, it would be hard for anyone to verify that because I tried when applying to Uni! Upon interview bring ID and copies of all certificates. I have always took certificates to every interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
