I exaggerated on my CV for this current job tho. I dont kno if it was helpful but then it was cool seeing d man staring at my CV to see that i had 2yrs exp at UAE when ive never even been on a flight b4.
But then i have enough exp and studied enough to defend it tho. Thats cuz ive read, watched many videos and shit about the job specifications.
Now level don change and i give God d glory.
yes, only INTELLIGENT people can exaggerate and get away with it.
after all, these recruiters don't like honesty at all, they always want you to wow them with lies

Sometimes, saying the truth may not give u the job either. Take for an example, when u are asked why you want to work in our company or school. My dear, if u say the real gospel truth why u wasn't to leave your former place, nobody will employ u

Trash

Nairaland is litered with trash content that gives wrong advise to job seekers

Just know the right person and no one will look at your CV

All these posts are just to take up space on the front page , but are entirely useless
And some people will vex if we say lazy people will starve.

Lying on a CV is bad...but come to think of it a job of just #200k will be demanding for certified expertise running close to #800k... 90% of Nigerians lie on thier CV. Most call it an upgrade...is it one person who stopped working at 2015 will put in CV.my last job was in 2015...the employers will just say what a redundant person..so most people upgrade and its not a lie..the competition is real so u need to work on editing ur CV..don't mind my English *written on purpose* if u can lie to your soulmate what is CV that one cannot lie about..world is full of lies..Government will put 40000mw to achieved in ten years time come 2030..2030 will come we never reach quarter...billionaires lie, motivational speakers lie, politician lies, of u have not lied before raise ur hand..pastor.will say sow seed.of #100000 and receive in.multitudes..is the pastor.not a.liar OP go and fry fish ur post is inconclusive
