I've never lied on a résumé, i've omitted jobs and certain facts not relevant to particular applications, but never made anything up or embellished. it seems weird when I hear reports of people who have made things up and what percentage of people lie on theirs. it's so easy to check and verify things now that there's just no point but still people do it, it seems. Have you ever lied on yours? Any odd or strange jobs on your résumé? What was your shortest lived job? Mine was the dog-groomer stint, seen as i am allergic to dogs it wasn't the smartest of things to do. I don't really count the 18 hours I was in the air force.
