Guest Gary C Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 We've had this before. I regularly lie about my final degree results. I tell them 2:1 rather than 2:2.

"i am good at working in teams" "i enjoy working with numbers" etc need some good lies..

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I've padded a few things out but never completely made anything up. Like I worked in a tiny shop where I didn't really have a job title but I figure since I was trusted to run the place on my own I should call myself assistant manager or something. I managed to accidentally imply that I went to Oxford for the interview for my current position, I think my supervisor still thinks I did, when in fact I was studying and I was in the town of Oxford for a bit but not attending the university in any form. I also hype up my interest in sports, I've found at interview they really seem to like it for some reason.

Guest Iain C Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 i got my current job without a CV. it was a junior copywriter's position and i got it based solely on the strength of a good interview and a very strong writing portfolio i submitted with a covering letter. if they'd looked at my CV, i probably wouldn't have got the job!

Guest Gary C Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Oh yeah, in terms of the personal bits, I always say that I'm "goal oriented" (definitely bring that up in interviews), "arrange sports events with friends". Mostly I just work an embarassing/funny/memorable story into some questions during an interview. It's worked in both of my last interviews. If you have no experience or skills, then yeah, good luck. You probably need to start the at the very bottom.

Guest Enter a new display name Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I also lie about my motivations, my skills and my personality in my CV, but you still have to prove it during the interview, or at least keep your job. :/ Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/62366-curriculum-vitae/#findComment-1480614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
