Re: Lying on job applications
As alluded to by Russ, if you are asked a specific question regarding qualifications and you make something up it has to be wrong. In the simplest of terms it probably falls into a category of deception, especially if proven that you had intent to deceive.
Yes everybody embellishes their experience on CVs or forms to try to suit the application. In most cases ppl will go for brevity and all encompassing wordings to try and cover their range of experience rather than being too pricise and thus limiting. However, just as estate agents are criticised for misdescription of property, the CV is effectively your advert, so why should it be reasonable to missell yourself?
