However, when you lie at a job interview, you are tricking an employer into paying you to do a job that you do not meet the requirements off.
You lie to get some money.
This is the basis of fraud.

IMO this is met when you lie on a CV etc at a job interview.
Why should lying here be any different to lying to the police etc?
Its even worse when you lie in writing as it cannot be taken as a slip of the tongue.
Suppose I was to lie in a job interview that I was an experienced & qualified surgeon, then I was to get a job based on this & because of my incompetence & inexperience at surgery cause the death of a patient.
Do you not think that this would be wrong?
Or do you Canadians have a different moral sense than the rest of us?
