If you're entering the job market for
the first time or are simply in search
of a new job, it's tempting to lie when
you're finding it difficult to create a
winning CV. However, what if your
potential employer asked you to use "your skills", like saying something in
Spanish and you couldn't even recall
Ricky Martin's La Vida Loca? Lying on
a CV, will leave you embarrassed and
red-faced when the truth comes out.
But that's stating the obvious, right? Here are a few other common CV lies
that jobseekers still persist to include
in their job applications:

1. An exaggerated education. T he most common CV lies are found in the
education section. These include non-
existent matric certificates, inflated
educations and incomplete degree.
When your employer or colleagues ask
questions related to your background, things can quickly
backfire when you find that you have
to create new lies to cover the initial
lie.

2. Stating skills that you actually know nothing about. If an employer has hired you based on the fact that
you have a particular skill, chances
are that you’ll have to use the skill
sometime during your job – and if you
can’t, what then? If you can’t do it,
don’t include it on your CV.

3. Listing fake references. Many times candidates list friends or family as
references – don’t. If you get caught
out, and you most likely will, your
reputation won’t last in your industry
and your friends and family may get
into trouble too.

4. Your reasons for leaving are not true. If you were fired from your previous job, don’t lie about it –
employers check. If you know this is a
tough question for you to answer,
figure out how best you can tell the
employer. Focus on what you learnt
from the experience and not why it happened. Explain to the employer
what you'll do differently and how
you will be a better employee
because of your experience.

5. You exaggerate your position and responsibilities. The interviewer probably called you because your
responsibilities and title were similar
to what they were looking for in a
candidate. If you can’t do the job
you’ve listed, don’t lie about it on your
CV.

Making nigerians proud.

Christians get
married in front of God and their
Christian friends, all of whom are
praying to God for the marriage to succeed. And then they say, "What
God has put together, let no man put
asunder." God is all-powerful, so if
God has put two people together
that should seal the deal, right? Yet
Christians get divorced at the same rate as everyone else. To explain this,
you have to create some convoluted
rationalization.
