We all embellish our cvs to some extent. But I think claiming you have qualifications you don't have is probably not very wise. I suppose it's the difference between lying and putting some spin on things.
Yeah, there's a difference between someone saying they have a BEng and going into a draftmans job they've done for 5 years already, and someone saying they have a medical qualification when they have no experience at all.
